No, it will lubricate the gears. Decrease friction.

Why does your bicycle squeak?
Your bicycle may be squeaking because it is rusty. The gears, for example, on the bicycle may be rubbing together and causing friction, thus creating the squeaking noise. Try lubricating your bicycle with WD-40.
Where on a bicycle friction can be a nuisance?
the gears and where the axis of the wheels
What are two ways that friction is harmful while ridinding a bicycle?
There is friction between the rubber tires and the road or other riding surface.There resistance to the rider moving through the air.The bicycle's chain, pedals, gears, etc all develop frictional forces.
What is bad friction in gears?
bad friction is when 2 things rub together .
What will oiling the chain of a bicycle do?
Make it glide more smoothly and keep rust off of the chain and gears the chain touches.to reduce wear and unwanted friction
How many gears in Hercules rodeo?
That bicycle has 18 gears.
How many gears are in an 80cc dirt bike?
an average bicycle has up to 24 gears but a bicycle has up to 30 gears
What is example of increasing friction intentionally?
well immediatly when i hear the word friction i think of tires and u need to add something to make it intentionally go faster so an example would be " adding grease to gears on a bike." Heather - 14 - MI ^^^ this is decreasing friction. Adding friction would be like throwing sand on a icy driveway so you don't slide..

What is the cassette of bicycle?
The gears on the rear wheel are called a cassette
How does braking stop a bicycle?
Same as on a car. Applying the brakes means that something stationary is pressed against a moving part. This generates friction, which turns speed into heat.It produces friction, because when the brake touches the rim of the bicycle, the bicycle slows down. (thats called friction) And after a while the bicycle stopsA stationary part is brought into contact with a rotating part. The resulting friction slows the bike down.
Why does adding oil increases efficiency?
The purpose of adding oil to a car i to lubricate the engine. if the engine is not lubricated there will be much more friction between gears and friction generates heat. because energy is needed to create heat that energy is taken away from the energy that would be propelling the car forward. this causes the efficiency yo drop.
