Swivel grease?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Saffy:
Series balls have oil, but is it not correct that defenders used one shot grease as standard anyway?

Les Henson:
Series should always have EP90, early defenders had the same, but then later ones were One Shot.
Litch is right - you are only masking the problem and any wear you have now will get worse and then the grease will leak out. Repairing a hub is a messy job anyway, doing it with One Shot in the hubs is worse.

Already ordered a pair from a place on Ebay mate, Thanks anyway.

"is it not correct that defenders used one shot grease as standard anyway?"

I think the grease was introduced in the mid 1990's.
Am I not correct in thinking that later 90/110's don't have a drain for the swivels? If that is correct then it will tie up with the introduction of the grease as why would you have a drain for something that cannot be drained when cold?


Like I said earlier, I am not against it and in fact I am going to use it on my 90 when I replace the swivels next week however I would not recomend its use just to cure a leak.

Les Henson:
Later swivels (Disco anyway) have no drain plug. There is no service replacement interval for swivel grease.
