Well lubed jockey wheels
I recently got annoyed by the propensity for my jockey wheels to run out
of lube. The trouble I suspect is that it is difficult to adequately lubricate them during assembly, so I made it possible to lubricate them after they are assembled. I bought a grease syringe that fits my grease gun, and I drilled a hole into the jockey wheel such that I can pump grease directly into the middle of the plain bearings. Campagnolo jockey wheels use a soft metal outer bearing material, so it was easy to drill through the plastic wheel and the bearing material. -- JS |
