Re: finally on the road!!!
People do swear by mineral oils for running in initially and you can get some good ones. Probably a good idea is to go down to the local motorbike shop and see what the kids are using in their peds.

Re: finally on the road!!!
Still needs to be run in, don't no why she's so smoky, using SIP fully syn oil 3% mix. Don't quote me on this, but it's not a good idea to run in on fully synth.
