Just wondering what oil most people use for their idler wheel. At present I only have oil for hair clippers to hand but I imagine it's much too light to use in this case... Any opinions?

Not Crucial. Same as the TT bearing i suppose will do.
Grease yes, that makes sense. Any types in particular?
I didnt mean drench it. I just put a tiny amount on mine and it was fine. If you wanna use Grease fine but would have to be thin grease.Never any traces of ever having grease on the one i had tho.
Dunno what the specialists recommend :lol:
Id personally do some of that lithium based Grease.
I’d use a liquid grease or a heavy none EP SAE 90 oil. Something that clings and stays put with a surface tension. ‘Solid’ grease will move from where it’s placed unless the area is enclosed and the void packed with it.
Aye Lithium stays put
