grease is grease

Is grease grease? Thought there was different types. My speedplays need a greasing,got some white lithium grease and some seriously purple grease-can I use either of those on Speedplay pedals.

I use Finish Line Teflon grease which works fine. You will need something to inject the grease into the pedal. I have the Finish Line grease gun but Halfords have an equivalent which should just screw onto the grease tube - http://www.halfords.com/cycling/tools-maintenance/cleaning-lube/bikehut-bike-maintenance-grease-gun

Any general grease will be fine. I use the Halfords grease gun, linked above. Some people say to use plastic syringes instead, but I found that I couldn't get enough pressure with them before they snapped.

Would one of these do the trick?

The plastic syringe option has been absolutely perfect for me. Some grease escaping from the side on one set of pedals was fixed by purchasing new grease posts for pennies from chain reaction.
£40 for a speedplay gun or 52p for syringes from Boots.

Just don't buy the extortionately priced Speedplay grease gun.

That would be fine to use.

Speedplay grease from Wiggle. Its marine grease. You can also use in headsets and BBs
