Hello,
This is an image of my Atom 3 rear left bell crank.
I was wondering, whether this little silver shining thing is a grease fitting and if so, how I could service this correctly, so which tool and grease I could use.(?)
Thanks

Re: Suspension, Bell Crank Greasing
That is NOT a grease point. The bell cranks has to be dismantled to lube it. Use high performance lithium complex grease such as Deltaplex 2EP.

Re: Suspension, Bell Crank Greasing
Thank you both.
From pictures in other posts I understand, that I have the RBBCs.
Silly question : is it necessary at all to regrease them or should the original grease almost last for life like in wheel bearings? Just asking, because the bell cranks are not mentioned in the service overview in the handbook.(?)

Re: Suspension, Bell Crank Greasing
Apparently the bell cranks can 'stick' as the grease breaks down. The point if stickion can be at a critical point on the suspension travel, causing handling issues.
