I didn't bother with fitting grease nipples after reading all the pros and cons and i packed enough grease in there for at least another 20 years

Looking good Phil how much longer before a test ride ?

You can't beat a good rattle can paint job
I've found over the years that as long as you greased the linkage properly and the seals were in good condition then it'll last a fair while, grease nipples do make the job of re greasing easy though and it pushes out water and dirty grease at the same time so it's worth doing if you have the time and tools.
