through grease finding its way past the felt seals
on to the brake linings) this greasing point is of
little value and the best way to grease the
bearings is by packing them with grease after
dismantling the hub as described above.
Note that the brake cam is drilled for a
grease passage but the end of this is stopped up
with a countersunk screw instead of
being fitted with a grease nipple. This is done to
prevent excessive greasing by over-enthusiastic
owners. If the cam is smeared with grease on
assembly it should require no further attention
but in case of necessity it is possible to remove
the screw, fit a grease nipple in its place and
grease the cam by this means.
