Er......... What is a piunst? Is it just a mis-spelling, or is it a real word that I've not heard before.
I'm not trying to be awkward, but there are many American terms that I've not heard of.

It's a classic left shift typo + letter transposition = "points"

-CSI Qwerty

(My typing is atrocious too. I'm someone that thinks they can touch type, but I really can't.)

Pins, sorry. Damn iPhones suck to type on.

You should try to find Du Pont in Canada. Can't be done. I have one can that was brought back from Washington last year. Time for another. I can see a long ride once the weather gets warmer.

If you have a little flexibility with brand names, you might have more luck. The last can I got was "Slick 50"........from Farm and Fleet, I think. Check the label for PTFE (generic teflon).

Everything but Du Pont here. ...............But I want and need Du Pont. Gotta justify my passport and GPS. Actually Du Pont is the best I have ever used.

Can someone down in the lower 48 mail/ship you a can or is there some law or restrictions on sending an aerosol can through the mail?

Success.

I changed the oil today and lubed the chain.

Went for a 15 mile ride or so at 45-60mph and all seems well.

I can tell its running better. And the oil that came out of there.... YUCK.

Yeah, it was past due.

Next time I buy a bike I'll change it the day I get it.

You should change the oil, check the air filter etc............ in any vehicle you get first thing, when i buy a car, once i drive it home, I try not to drive it anywhere until all those things are done.
