Need to replace bushings etc on my suss and recommended to use Manitou Prep M.
I can find the grease but no-one stocks or has one in stock the grease gun (head) that fits....at least not one that i can find!

Is there an alternative to this grease and a gun that will fit the micro zerks grease ports

Its an 05 Turner 5 spot (2nd hand so never done it before)

If anyone knows a place thats stocks it or has used something that is just as good and easier to find that would most appreciated!

Cheers
Jon

I bought one of these for my Banshee Rune and it works great, together with some Finish Line Premium grease.

One of these fitted on my tube of Prep M.

Have 2, also fitted on Shimano grease tube, finishline, currently attached to Rock n Roll tube of grease.

Search for "grease gun" on crc lists several. They're all probably the same, witht the exception of the Pace one.

Finish Line Premium isn't runny enough for Turners zerks and bushes, Prep M's the right stuff. Any micro-head attachment will do the trick, Halfords usually have them.

Where did you get your prep M? I'm running low and can't seem to find it anywhere?!

Ideally you want the curved one so you don't have to take things apart. I seem to recall mine came from the UK Turner importer, so I'd recommend giving Silverfish a call.

Got my Prep M and grease gun for my Spot recently at Mountain Trax in Wokingham. Live nearby, but they have a website too, so check that or call them. Believe they got a few in last time.
