Speedplay Grease Gun
I've already got three grease guns, and plenty of waterproof grease. Does anyone know what kind of fitting to buy to grease the speedplay Light Action/Zero pedals? They just reference their part number for the whole gun/w grease on their site.

I'm not sure if the Light Action or Zero pedals use a different one but my Frogs can be greased using the small tapered nozzle that Duelco grease guns come with. I just remove the small Phillips head screw, push the nozzle into the resulting hole and pump away until clean grease comes out the other end of the pedal.

Zero and X pedals are also fed grease by a needle tipped gun. The older X's didn't have a dust cap with a port (plugged by the screw) so either you drill a hole in one or use the Speedplay made cap with the port available separately. Since the pedals don't hold much grease I find the need to inject lube every year or sooner. Andy.

I should have added that needle points for grease guns can be had from some automotive suppliers as well as many industrial ones. Andy.
