Buzzy's Slick Honey Cycle Fork Suspension Grease

Product Information

Some images within this rebuild procedure show parts from a 2017 Internally Routed Transfer Seatpost. While these 2017 Internal Seatpost parts may appear different than those used in the 2018 Internally Routed Transfer Seatpost, the information and steps presented will guide you through rebuilding the 2018 Internally Routed Transfer Seatpost.

MUC-OFF: We recommend our Silicon Shine. BIKERUMOR: Is there any product/type of lube you should NOT use? I’m still using a big tub of their waterpump grease for just about everything that needs grease & never had an issue. MUC-OFF: Yes! You can’t beat regular cleaning of your whole bike to reduce wear and tear and use a good protectant all over your bike! We wash our bikes after every ride, little and often is better than waiting and turning it into a hellishly big job! Tyler Benedict is the Founder of Bikerumor.com.

I’d be very surprised if the slightly higher coefficient of friction of the Mobil would be noticeable in the slightest on fork seals tbh. Sounds a bit like the snake oilesque low stiction SKF seals that some folks fit.After a typical winter commute on salty roads (in my town they are salty from cirka 1 Oct to 15 Apr) the stanchions will rust almost immediately if I forget lubing them. Forgetting it after a single ride is enough to find it rusty next morning… Now let's move on to the information you seek. Unfortunately, your question is impossible to answer, as you've provided insufficient data. Lubriplate makes a hundred different products. Some might be appropriate for your application, others are definitely not. They even make a parting agent to separate wooden molds from concrete. This probably wouldn't work well in your fork. Take a zip tie and gently push it into the seal, as far as it goes. There may be some air in there.

When no new bubbles appear while cycling the Shaft, fully extend the Shaft and remove the Shaft Lug with the Internal Spool Valve Compressor tool. Install the appropriate IFP Height tool for your post, then reinstall the Shaft Lug with the Internal Spool Valve Compressor tool. Transfer Travel I might have missed it but did SRAM say to service at 50 hours? I didn’t catch that on every single response. lol. I would be interested to know how much should be used. I think in the past before I had any SRAM butter I just used a little suspension oil instead. First, read all the answers you've already received. There's a lesson to be learned, if you look closely. Fork specific grease seems expensive, is this just bike tax or is it just an expensive type of grease?

MUC-OFF: Start by hosing down thoroughly to remove any dirt but do not force water into the seals. Our Nano Tech Bike Cleaner can be used to remove any stubborn grime and then rinsed and dried with a clean cloth. You can then apply a light coating of Silicon Shine around the stanchion/wiper seal and you are good to go. is this the Float fluid that gets flushed out of the foam rings by the lower leg oil as the fork compresses? Not owned Fox for a while but seem to remember they changed the recommended oils for forks and binned Float off the list at one point.

MUC-OFF: Keeping your fork stanchions well lubricated is vital as it reduces the stiction between the wiper seal and the stanchion, which improves small bump sensitivity and trail buzz as the stiction is dramatically reduced. It also helps to keep dirt off the stanchion and seals as the silicon repels dirt and grime to the surfaces cleaner and hence reduces the risk of contaminants getting into the wiper seal (and in turn your fork oil). Here we are using Sram Butter. Apply a layer of Sram Butter to the inside of the dust seals. This will help keep the fork lubricated and feeling supple. If the going rate is 12 quid, the it is 12 quid and at 2 quid per fork service then it’s hardly going to eat up the soft food and tinned peach money.Before we get started, remove the fork from your bike and make sure it is nice and clean. Also, make sure you have a clean work environment that way no dirt or grime can get into your nice fork. The easiest way to service your fork is to hold the fork by either the steerer tube or the lower leg in a bike stand. Now let's get to it! Yup – and altho I don’t have fox forks all my forks are serviced using motorcycle fork oil – its designed for the purpose. It is obvious here that lube manufacturers have all interest to support external lubing. Yet it does not mean they are wrong. Often great products come out from an actual need.
