Cycle lubricant
From Auroville Wiki
If getting hold of cycle liquid wax lubricant is not possible in Auroville/Pondy, you could look for Cherry Blossom neutral liquid wax polish which works pretty well. It comes in a blue bottle with a sponge applicator. Sometimes this too is difficult to find or a bit pricey at Rs.35. In which case a light oil used for sewing machines used very sparingly works well too and costs Rs.17. Where to get it?? try Chitra Stores in Pondy on this map :
