Oiling and greasing are among the most common and sustainable methods involved in maintaining and servicing bicycles. All too often, however, lubricants end up on the workbench, the workshop floor or on parts of the bike where they shouldn't be. To help both professionals and keen amateur mechanics to perform this key task in a clean, efficient and targeted way, MOTOREX has added the BIKE GREASE GUN to its product range. With this handy, state-of-the-art grease gun, bicycle components can be lubricated precisely, using just the right amount of grease.
TThere are many ways of applying oils and greases most of which involve varying degrees of wastage as the lubricant gets spread around. This is neither cost-effective nor necessary, and in the worst case, it annoys workshop customers. Our 100 g brush case offers a clean solution here: the brush allows you to apply grease without touching it with your hands. Crucially, though, we have a special grease gun in our range that is specially designed for professional applications, which also makes it a joy for keen amateur mechanics to use. The BIKE GREASE GUN from the BIKE LINE “Workshop” product range enables precise metering and optimum positioning of the lubricant.
This is primarily thanks to the long dispensing nozzle, which even makes it easy for bicycle mechanics to reach those places that tend to be hard to get to. The tip of this sturdy nozzle narrows the outlet effectively, allowing the lubricant to be dispensed with even greater precision. What’s more, with the nozzle's long and very slim shape, you can see the area to be lubricated, making it easier to “aim” the BIKE GREASE GUN.
The pushing device is deliberately designed to be wide, so it fits perfectly in the palm of the hand. This makes it easy to portion out the right amount of grease required. If the pressure on the grease gun is released, no lubricant will run or drip out of the nozzle unintentionally. The handy grease container is precisely dimensioned to keep it in balance with the screwed-on pushing device. Consequently, the BIKE GREASE GUN can be controlled completely naturally, and will remain stable thanks to its well-balanced weight distribution.
Back to the nozzle, the “heart” of the BIKE GREASE GUN: its length and small outlet allow grease to be applied accurately in precisely measured amounts. As well as making work in the workshop easier, this improves customer satisfaction. After all, too much grease on a bike is a real magnet for all kinds of dust and dirt, and can of course soil clothing. It also helps the workshop team if lubricating bikes isn't a messy process, as there is no need to clean up the workspace afterwards.
As a tool for both professional use and keen amateur cyclists, the metal grease gun is particularly robust and designed to be durable. This is not just a matter of sticking any old dispensing tip onto a grease container – the BIKE GREASE GUN embodies a coherent overall concept, as demonstrated by the example of how to refill the cartridge.
The 850 g cans of BIKES' BEST BUDDIES such as WHITE GREASE, BIKE GREASE, ANTI SEIZE and CARBON PASTE come with a white lid insert. To fill the BIKE GREASE GUN, unscrew the dispensing lid and push the open end onto the filler neck of the GREASE can. When sufficient grease has been pushed into the cartridge, pull it off from the side – the grease gun is now filled. Once the lid has been screwed back on, any air pockets can easily be removed by pressing the bottom of the cartridge. After pumping a few times, the lubricant or mounting paste will start coming out of the syringe. This clever mechanism for refilling the 850 g cans ensures that there are no open grease containers around the workshop, where dust and dirt can accumulate and make the grease unusable.
The developers of our BIKE LINE products have a practical background and therefore bring a wealth of experience and passion to their work as bike mechanics. As a result, they have also made sure that the BIKE GREASE GUN is particularly easy to handle in the workshop and offers other tangible practical benefits as well as being user-friendly.
For example, high-quality wheels made from a state-of-the-art mix of materials call for a range of different products when it comes to servicing and repairs. The BIKE GREASE GUN is therefore suitable for all products that we use in the workshop segment of our BIKE LINE: the highly water-repellent and extremely pressure-resistant calcium-based BIKE GREASE, the lithium-based WHITE GREASE with wear-reducing properties and outstanding adhesive power, the ANTI SEIZE mounting paste for metal and aluminium connections and the CARBON PASTE designed for assembling carbon and aluminium parts. Unlike many other mounting pastes, this product is particle-free and is therefore easy to apply with the BIKE GREASE GUN.
Obviously, very few mechanics want to keep changing their BIKE Grease Gun for each different lubricant or care product. To make sure it is conveniently to hand and ready to use, it makes sense to have a BIKE GREASE GUN available at the start of any greasing task. Then just pick it up and apply the grease – this saves time and effort.
We also make it easier to use several BIKE GREASE GUNS in parallel thanks to the clever content label on the cartridge. Mechanics can simply tick the relevant MOTOREX product on the label – and there is even a separate space to enter the name of another product.
Another advantage of using several BIKE GREASE GUNS is that any residues of a type of grease left over in the pump and nozzle do not need to be removed when switching to another product, eliminating waste. This can certainly boost cost-effectiveness in workshop settings.
