DSJR and others recently suggested I contact the Funk Firm regarding some lube for my Pink Triangle.
I just got around to doing so in a brief email.
I was astounded to get a reply within 20 minutes and they asked me for my address so they could sent me some proper stuff.
I just can't fault them.

I think they're great! Their bearing lube is a dark grey grease in a syringe; you only need a tiny dab on the tip and maybe a small smear on the shaft.

BEWARE!

The syringe has quite a lot of stiction; push hard to overcome it and you could end up squirting out half the contents! I tend to use both hands with the syringe facing upwards; one hand to push, one hand to limit the pushing.
