What lube works for a darkside grabber, tried mine this afternoon, could not get it to seat a bead. So we removed it and cleaned it up again. looking for lubes that have worked.

I'm willing to bet and good oil would work.

I would be loathe to use a petroleum based oil on it, trapping some of it into the bead seat of the tire. Doesn't petroleum react negatively with rubber? I know we ride on oily roads, but that gets dried off. Seems like I read that somewhere/when.
