Grease Injector Needle

Product Information

Pretty simple really. You get a giant green syringe and a tube of grease. Which is red (and which you can replace when it runs out): Note - this method can definitely be used for a stabilizer that is already mounted to a keyboard for example a prebuilt board or if your stabilizers need retuning and you dont want to desolder. And when applications require high-speed dispensing or dispensing over uneven surfaces, EFD recommends jet valvesfor the greatest accuracy, within tight deposit tolerances. What cant be seen clearly in Figure 4 is that both sides of the wire is being injected with the grease so as much of the empty space is being filled. Here is a sound test the lubed stabilizer versus an unlubed stabilizer to compare, the keycap used is the ansi enter key from MT3 Serika.

I found the Weldtite syringe easy to use. It’s difficult to see what features that Speedplay could add to their version to compel me to pay the difference to upgrade. For those that can’t be arsed to watch it, the main elements are that you unscrew a little cover to an aperture on the side of the pedal. You then force new grease into this hole such that the old grease already in there is squeezed out the other side (being the bit around where the spindle goes into the pedal). So the conventional method of lubricating stabilizers is to dip/paint the wire with the chosen lubricant and then said wire is then inserted into the stabilizer housing.My pleasure at succeeding at getting out of the house was soon interrupted by a creaking squeaking sound. The added resistance was no doubt helpful in supercharging my training effect, but not ideal if I’m trying not to wear down the pedal bearings. My main concern was achieving sufficient pressure to force the old grease through the pedal and out the other side. This proved not a problem. I did get an awful lot of grease on the floor, on the wall behind me (having shot over my shoulder), on new jeans (I’m very pleased it missed my T-shirt as it was one of my favorites) and on the drive out the front of the garage (I was about 6 feet inside the garage). I am now on the constant lookout for opportunities where precision greasing will give me a competitive advantage (both in my sporting and newly-resuscitated professional life).

This particular evening I’d made a particular effort, once home, to prise myself immediately into my Lycra armour and get in an hour-long ride. Though this latter fear was mitigated by the knowledge that the amount of power I put through the pedals is unlikely to wear down bearings made of soap.)TL;DR - Watch video in post, method works well to stop rattle. Is it a better way? Not really, dipping/painting the wire works just as well to stop rattle. There’s no point in attempting to build up the mystery in a post so far dominated by grease and tardy pedal maintenance. It was the Speedplays. The procedure for replacing the internal pedal grease is shown quite clearly in this Speedplay video: Part of the reason for putting off the act of maintaining the Speedplays for so long is that the cost of the official Speedplay grease gun seemed so prohibitively expensive.

When high-volume or highly accurate, repeatable outcomes are required, EFD recommends using needle, piston, or high-pressure valvesdepending on your application requirements. When the application requires even, consistent coverage of an area, EFD recommends using a spray valve system. I rode the remainder of the ride in that state of heightened tension where you’re conscious of the ludicrous noise that is piercing through the otherwise peaceful June countryside evening and the potential damage that each pedal stroke might be making. Precision is important when dispensing grease or oil because when exact amounts are not applied, it can lead to product performance issues. Too much grease tends to spread, affecting product quality, and too little grease can cause product failure. This photo might be something of an historical re-enactment… I was a bit too focused on greasing rather than photo-ing the first time round).Pro tip: keep plenty of kitchen roll – or your alternative cleaning towel of choice – to mop up the spent grease as it comes out. Even then, I found that more old grease came out on my next couple of rides (hence why it’s still there on these photos, a week after the actual greasing). Figure 3 shows the position that the stabilizer wire sits in the slider highlighted blue on the left, and the empty space that needs to be filled highlighted in red on the right.
