regreasing DMR V8 pedals

spudly1979

hi, apologies if i'm being a muppet, i just don't want to get this wrong!

MY DMR V8 pedals are in need of regreasing i believe. According to the box there's a syringe and grease port to make this easy.

I have the syringe, but where's the port?!? I have checked the DMR website - no manual to download or view, and nothing in the box the pedals came in.

Does one of the grub screws come out or do i have to dismantle the pedal?!

Help!

There's a little grub screw on the centre shaft.

Pop this out and squeeze away.

There sometimes isn't a grub screw, mine just had a little hole

I found that there really wasn't enough grease in the syringe to properly flush out both pedals.
might be a good time to invest in a small nozzle grease gun, and some fresh grease.

I strip mine and start from scratch to be fair.

I usually just strip mine down every few months, more so if I have been riding in heavy raid or lots of mud.
I used this guide from DMR when I first started doing mine: http://www.dmrbikes.com/res/CMSFiles/V8%20Maintenance.pdf

Just bought these pedals and found there isn't enough grease in the syringe, what grease should i use?

Pretty much anything really. The syringe thing is crap, there's never enough grease in it, even for a single pedal.
If you haven't got a mini grease gun though, try and fill the syringe and use that to regrease the pedals.
