you could Bid on a WTB Grease Guard BB , they are not made anymore,
so that may have to be your source.
but a needle grease gun tip, will push fresh grease in and purge
out the old grease..
another discontinued one, SKF-Sachs, the bearing cartridge
with sealed bearings
was behind shaft packing in the cups, further shielding the bearing cartridge..
Thanks for the reply. I spoke to someone at PW about the mud shield, and she told me that they were more for mud than water. But I ordered a set anyway, they can't hurt.
I have an SFK, but it's the wrong spindle length. Good BB, but hard to find.
