What the.....
So i bought a whole whack of bike stuff off this lady whose husband passed away a few years ago. In his tool case i find this:
What type of needles would this be used for? they don't look like the ones used for humans.

Maybe dispensing some kind of sealant directly into a puncture?
I could see some day this will be the way to repair tubeless tires, given the right chemistry of the sealant and the inside surface of the tire.

i didn't ask how he did, as she seemed a little fragile while telling me that he passed away, didn't want to make the situation worse. I was more exited about some of the parts and bike he had kicking around. It didn't come super cheap either, she knew her prices lol

I use one as an oiler when I refurbish old turntables and tape decks. I also use it on door hinges.

They are oilers. You fill the syringe with chainlube and then apply a dot of oil to each pin in your chain, brake pivots or whatever. Time consuming but very precise and it minimizes the build up of crud on the chain caused by over oiling. I actually use a standard medical syringe which works pretty much the same.
