If not, the product lead from merziac may be in my future.
Be advised that you will have to empty a tube of preloaded grease to use your favorite blend, strain, whatever, then reset the slide to load it.

As I alluded to earlier, I use this manly for less than perfect races, I install new loose balls, load em up with good thick grease, set em up just right and spin on down the road.

I have the needle on full time but it comes in most handy to regrease sealed bearings after carefully removing the seals with a pick and sticking it in between each bearing and loading them up as I did the other day on the new to me chrome Ritchey frame that came with what I believe to be the original sealed BB.

For good races I use Phil from the tube or a syringe.
