My wife and I recently took a trip to NorCal. We pulled our trailer this time to do a little camping. It was great and pulled like a charm. But after the first day the trailer ball hitch junction started squeaking. These things don't really bother me but my wife gets embarrassed if the brakes squeak on the motor home or if the fan belt squeaks on the car. So she didn't like it when we would pull in a parking lot or a gas station and the trailer would squeak. SO I USED THE ONLY THING I HAD ON HAND. It never made another peep for the next 5 days.  So if anybody has any squeaks on their bike I highly recommend Walmart Brand personal lubricant . I can't attest to the warming gel just the plain liquid kind.  |

I'm sure Walmart would love to get such a great review of one of their products and I'm sure it's better that the flip side of your usage, all purpose grease for personal use.
As I heard many years ago, necessity is the mother of invention.

What should you do if your wife starts smoking?
...slow down, maybe use a little lube...

You need a little drum roll on the end You think that would help? Slowing down and adding some of that Kentucky Jelly has always been enough for me... |

Hmmm, and here I always thought the personal lube was to increase the frequency and decibel of the squeaks?  |

If you do things correctly, you don't need lube! |
