Dang! That sounds like a Reader article... Photos? The only thing I'd be mindful of would be pushing sand/dirt into the bearings using this method. The nice thing about the "Grease Guard" ports was that they were typically in the middle of the mechanism, so that the force pushed grease out from both ends. I suppose someone with a better set of tools than I have could tap it for a threaded grease gun port, somewhere in the center. - J -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Send In Your Photos! - Here's how: http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines "I had to ride slow because I was taking my guerrilla route, the one I follow when I assume that everyone in a car is out to get me." -- Neal Stephenson, "Zodiac" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
