After changing over to Speedplay pedals a few months ago I have been aware of the fact you have to grease them occasionally.This has been in the back of my mind for some time and just the other day I had an idea about how to achieve it. Having a strong connection to a farming background and a pretty decent workshop, the idea of using a chainsaw bar grease gun occurred to me.It's a little spring loaded grease gun with a pointy end used for lubricating the rollers in the end of a chainsaw bar.The good news was I happened to have one. I have just tried the technique and it was so successful that I just had to blog about it.Plus I get to take close up photos which I love as well.I reckon there would be plenty of other ways to achieve the same result,this was the one I came up with using the tools I had.
If you own a chainsaw chances are you'll have one of these grease guns.
It's very easy,first remove the little phillips head screw.
It took about 3 pumps with the grease gun.
When grease comes out the other side that's enough. Put the little screw back in and wipe off excess grease and your done.
