Buzzy's Slick Honey Cycle Fork Suspension Grease

Product Information

But different greases will do their jobs better than others, and for some jobs there's likely to be more difference between a good grease and a bad one, e. Putting your bike upside down for a day will have all the dirt and air bubbles in your brake lines get into your brake lever reservoir. I was also under the impression that’s you’re supposed to put a very light smear on mating surfaces but the suspension oil is still what will be the lubricant. It’s lube – it will aid moving parts – there are no air ports to be blocked in the air spring slide. Max has been a professional downhill mountain bike racer for the last 10 years, competing in the UCI World Cup downhill series and U.

Petroleum products can damage plastics and rubbers, and a wet chain oil would attract too much dirt. This is Ca-12-OH based, so like some of the previous greases, wash-out resistant and not a high temperature grease (rated to 120C). Carefully insert the Upper Bushing Removal Tool (PN: 803-01-127 with 398-00-544 for 175mm posts) into the Lower Post with the plastic end first. Now that the fork is full of the correct bath oil, slide the lowers far enough on to the upper tubes so that the damper rod and air spring rod come out of the lower legs. Using 'premium grease' on freehub pawls is a bad idea because it's too thick and can inhibit pawl engagement.is this the Float fluid that gets flushed out of the foam rings by the lower leg oil as the fork compresses? In this installment of our mountain bike How To series, we are going to be doing a lower leg fork suspension service on a 2020 Fox 36 Factory Series fork. He has been writing about the latest bikes, components, and cycling technology for almost two decades. Originally developed for motorcycle suspension systems, Slick Honey is unmatched in its ability to provide nearly frictionless movement while staying in place longer than other greases.

The mechanism uses smaller parts and less internal oil/air than a fork, therefore it needs fewer applications of Wet Seal. Right now all I've got is park poly grease that I use for headsets, bottom brackets, and hub bearings and its been good. But to digress, according to the fork manufactures, a properly maintained fork means the seals were wiped down before every ride.The common recommendation is Slickoleum, which anhydrous calcium-soap based with good washout properties, and which is slightly thinner than many greases (ALGI 1. ROCKSHOX: For 50 hour lower leg services, our service manuals communicate the proper procedures and the specific grease and oils, including quantities, necessary for each model of fork. ROCKSHOX: Clean your stanchions and dust wiper seals before or after every ride with a clean, lint-free towel and isopropyl alcohol as necessary.

Slowly push the Piston Assembly into the top of the Upper Post until the Shaft extends out from the bottom of the Upper Post.How about just summarizes what you can and can’t use safely for wheel bearings, elastomers, springs, seals etc? Riders who frequent bike parks, extreme terrain, or encounter severe environmental conditions will benefit from more frequent service. We wash our bikes after every ride, little and often is better than waiting and turning it into a hellishly big job! Many other lubes could actually attract more dirt and grime and their thicker viscosity could actually make the stiction a lot worse!
