... I may even try vegetable oil! Felipe, please don't use vegetable oil. I have tried it a while ago because I had no mineral oil and it dried up over time and it was as if I had use a strong glue: the pump became locked. Please use mineral oil, the best is silicone based because it repairs the ru...

I fly my Fluid Torque 10 with a Turbo-diesel 24in bar.

Now that I have logged more than a dozen sessions on the Torque 10, I have this to say: The turning is still somewhat weird for me, coming from a C background, but I have found that the other bow pilots find the turning acceptable, only that it does not turn on its axis, rather a curve turning bow. ...

I don't know if the bar is the one I am thinking about, but you might want to check this post
