Hi,
I bought a Carrera Kraken in the sales a few weeks ago but haven't used it yet as I'm in the middle of revising for exams :( I plan on starting next week (the day i finish) :D I'm just looking for some advice on what to tighten, grease or lube etc I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this so feel free to point out the obvious, I just don't want my cranks falling off and the likes! Also, any recommendations on grease or lube? Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

    If it moves, give it a drop of ol, if it doesn't tighten it!

    Have a read of the parktools website, very useful for getting a feel for what you should and should not do.
