Anyone know where you can get bulk order of Silicone lube, I'm going to end up using a lot of it and I don't like paying an arm and a leg for small amounts.

You go through that much lube for a treadmill? Is this some special unit?

*** looks at treadmill and wonders if it should have been lubed sometime in the past 15 years ..... ***

Annual service is recommended on home fitness equipment. Nordictrack contracted out our warranty service, and the guy gave us some flyers on annual service costs and the availbility of contracts for our eliptical.

We never got it serviced. Works fine. Saved the cost of the entire thing by skipping the routine maintenance fees.

A treadmill needs very little lube under the belt. A small tube should last at least a couple of years worth of regular use.

Our treadmill bitches about lubing after most runs over 5 miles. I've lubed it twice in the year we have had it.
