Lubrication

1. Use graphite only.

2. Break in the wheels by spinning them with lots of graphite.

3. Right before check-in, fill the wheels wells with graphite.

4. Other than the good polishing of the axles, dump the axles and wheels in a ziplock bag with some graphite and shake them for a few days prior to the race. That way the wheel and the axles are as slick as can be.
