robloxley Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Do your pulleys need greasing, modern ones are often made of 'self lubricating' materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tecnical Bradders Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I would use lithium complex grease because it has the following properties: Coats and reacts to metal surfaces; providing an unparalleled protection system that reduces wear and prevents damage. Provide superior protection and performance in shock-loading applications which can rupture the oil film of conventional greases and lead to damaging metal-to-metal contact. Resists water (damp area's) and provides superior protection against corrosion and oxidation, which can eat away and destroy critical components and lead to failure. But I would think any multi purpose grease should do a sufficient job; just keep them well greased and maintained. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
