you guys dont really seem to know bmx too well...
the "holes" on the side are not for oil, you cant even drip oil in them, they are so you can rebuild your freewheel. tighten your crank or chain so your crank cant spin super freely, but still smoothly, if your freewheel dosnt slip, than dont...
bend em back, i bent the hell out of an eastern bmx frame, they bent about 2 inches to the right! i took it to a machine shop and the guys let me use their torch to bend em back. burnt all the paint off, but it works fine now i guess, i have since sold that frame though.
