As usual people are panicking very dramatically in this thread about something people do every day but when you stop and think it is extremely elaborate prep to use this simple and natural form of lube, which is not suitable for all riders anyway. If you really want a natural lube then use castor oil, it is better than any synthetic lube in most ways and really provides strong lube effect. They used it excessively during ww II from tiger tanks to lady's bicycles as it works in the most extreme environments and is very effective only drawback is it gets gummy over time. However the two stroke motorcycle racers still use it for its superior protection and they put in anti-gumming additives to the mix so it should be perfect for bicycle use.
