No one told me about the mod I saw on Softleys bike yesterday!!
A little grease nipple poking through his pully cover!!
Come on ain't it time you told me all about it?

Nate.

You can buy one off - if you're up that way!
Allows you to lube the concentric needle rollers in the output shaft.

Maz has a batch of them knocked up. An odd squirt of oil keeps the poorly lubed needle rollers nice an rust free. You can also poke a small hole in the center of the seal, oil the bearing and then seal it with a blob of silicone. To replace that bearing on a Tuber is pocket money. To replace it on an older Fueller could write the bike off

The record is that they all relevant and sensible

A good point

Unless like on mine the bearing completely falls to bits and the resulting wreckage strips all the case hardening off the end of the mainshaft and you have to have a new one of those too

Ok then, these are the bearings that failed for Pash recently?
"Older Fueller" does that mean the later ones have a trap door now?
Whats the seal made of? Could it stand a fine thread for a small screw?

Can't believe you held out on me over this one

N.

Has been well documented/common knowledge for years

No, you cant fit a nipple to the standard seal

The middle of the rubber covered seal has a small hole in the middle without metal backing. You can puncture it here. A self tapper in there would be dodgy and look shite. Use a syringe if you don't want to knock up an alloy plug

Nate you are being naughty!!! I told you all about it even the cheap skate idea of cutting the seal squirting the oil in then using a bike puncture repair kit to cover the hole.
Just buy one from Maz, I'll come with you and show you the way if you like (assuming I can remember the way!!!)
Don't feck around get it done!

I use the Maz conversion and a syringe to put the oil in so i know exactly how much oil i am putting in.

How much oil do you put in then? Just a couple of drops was the plan, I thought...?

yep just a couple of drops hence i use a small syringe to know exactly. i put in 2 mil last time, rmember a teaspoon holds about 5 mil.
we ain't talking horse syringe here!

Good-o, thass what I thought

I'm sure that's what Maz told me but I wasn't sure I'd remembered right...
