Speedplay Grease Gun

leozak

Can you use Finish Line Grease Gun instead of having to buy the expensive original speedplay grease gun ??

There must be alternatives that would work...

Any advice would be appreciated

bondurant

Yes, you can

I'm sure you can. I've read of people using disposable plastic syringes too. I've done that for general greasing around the bike; handy and clean to use.

i use a basic grease gun and weldtite cycle grease for my speedplays and no issues at all. save yourself the £40 :-)

Thanks for your advice - If you use basic grease gun how do you get the needle nipple applicator to fit the pedal ?

I use a basic grease gun with the standard nozzle it came with and some shimano dura-ace grease. Works fine for me.

Syringe works fine for me, no issue at all.

How do you use a standard nozzel on the pedal ??

Thanks it seems to work well. What grease do you use in the syringe ? Is that a standard syringe where do I get one ?

Yes you can. Recently bought this and works like a charm. So much cheaper than the Speedplay stuff.

Exactly as shown in the syringe video but with a grease gun. Press the nozzle tightly against the pedal grease port and squeeze.

+1 for the syringe. I popped into my local chemist and got one there. About 50p. Works fine. Did a pair of pedals yesterday strangely rewarding a bit like squeezing a zit.

Anyone using one of these grease guns know if you can screw on a tube of Rock n Roll Super Web Grease to them?

As people have said syringes work fine.

I got one of these in a 50% sale in Evans. Easy to fill the chamber with grease and you also don't have to buy Finish Line in the future. At £6 two years ago it's been great across 3 sets of Speedplays: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/dua ... n-ec005503
