Buzzy's Slick Honey Cycle Fork Suspension Grease

Product Information

Contamination or damage to the Pressure Relief Valve Assembly can cause an oil leak that allows the post to travel up when unweighted and down when weighted by a rider without actuation of the remote lever. I know it’s challenging on free media because money comes from companies, not readers. But wouldn’t it be the whole point of that kind of article that the journalist helps the reader make up his mind ? Instead of just forwarding manufacturer’s fog screen speech ? Of course they all had to answer same question, which is kind of a good start, but… I’m still using a big tub of their waterpump grease for just about everything that needs grease & never had an issue. MRP: One tip we do recommend is to occasionally flip your bike over to allow the bath oil accumulated at the bottom of your lowers to wet your bushings and seals. If there is a sufficient amount of oil in there, it should splash around as the fork cycles anyway, but to expedite that process and make your fork feel fresh on the first hit, do the above.

Grab the Push Rod above the o-ring and hold it from turning while you unthread the Spool Valve with a 7mm wrench. 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! NOTE: To adjust travel on a 2021 38mm fork you must replace the entire Air Shaft Assembly with Inner Air Sleeve. Part Take a zip tie and gently push it into the seal, as far as it goes. There may be some air in there. Obviously , it is a very special lube, mined from a single cave on a long lost island, and can only be harvested at midnight.

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. Tyler Benedict is the Founder of Bikerumor.com.

Typically you want to use a lubricant that has a similar composition of what’s found in the bath system.

Make sure you orient the lowers on to the upper tubes correctly. The damper side is on the rider's right, and the air spring on the riders left side. Gently slide the upper tubes through the dust wipers without pushing the damper rod and air spring rod all the way through the bottom of the lower. That way we can add bath oil! 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). Keep it clean, soft cloth or light brush after every ride, bit of lube, wiped off so as not to form grinding paste.Applying lubrication to the stanchions will attract dirt and debris, which the wiper seal will wipe away upon the next compression, creating a ring of oil and debris that will need to be cleaned before your next ride. With routine 50 hour lower leg service, the fork will provide the necessary lubrication to the stanchions to perform properly until the next service interval is reached. Routine service combined with proper cleaning and inspection can extend the life and performance of your suspension product. part of this service, you will also be signed up to receive occasional special offers and third-party They have chemists who can analyse stuff & make an equivalent. (Although maybe not in just tiny amounts for practical purposes) Before removing the bottom nuts, make sure the bottom of your fork is raised higher than the steerer tube so that once the bottom nuts are removed, oil will not spill.

We need to make sure we have all the right tools for the job. For starters, you will need Fox 20wt Gold Fork Fluid, Fox 5wt Teflon Infused Fork Fluid, Fox 36 foam rings, and Fox crush washers. (DO NOT use the old crush washers) We offer a variety of Fox dust wiper refresh kits. 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. Start seating the Wiper Seal by hand, then use your Upper Bushing and Seal Installer to fully seat the Wiper Seal.WET SEAL: Our product Wet Seal was the first lubricant introduced to the industry specifically for suspension forks and this article. In 2014 we had the Suspension Experts in Asheville run a serious of tests on every fork to make sure our formula was 100% safe. MUC-OFF: Re-apply before each ride for best results and maximum protection. BIKERUMOR: What’s the best way to clean them first?

I am fairly sure they didn’t have to use liquid gold in my Ducati forks when it was serviced. But I might be wrong.It is very important to use the correct amount of bath oil in both sides of your fork. See the photo below to make sure you are using the correct oil type and oil volume for your fork. **Fox forks with the Grip Damper use Fox 5wt Silver Teflon Infused Fork Fluid on the damper side. MRP: We recommend cleaning your seal areas with a mild soap and water mix periodically, sooner rather than later if there is significant dirt build up. Somebody said guns? Lubriplate SFL-0. It's an NLGI 0, aluminum complex grease. This would also be a satisfactory choice for the bike, but 105 provides a little better corrosion resistance.
