Buzzy's Slick Honey Cycle Fork Suspension Grease

Product Information

WET SEAL: Our Wet Seal also works great on Dropper Posts. If you find that your dropper post is slow to rise or won’t rise at all but has proper air pressure, Wet Seal will have that post popping up like a hen at sunrise. Similar when applying Wet Seal to your fork, clean the dropper stanchion and seal with a micro-fiber rag before applying our product. Once applied, drop and rise the post 3-4 times and clean off the remaining liquid and grime with a micro-fiber rag.

Also fairly expensive but do you really need a massive tub of it? I only use a tiny amount each time (but then I have cheapy forks and only use it on the wiper seals).

Unfortunately it's not very clear which grease and additives is best, because bicycles are different from lots of other applications in that speeds are quite low, and temperatures not too high. Durability is likely to be important. 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. Loosely position the Upper Post upside down in the Upper Bushing and Seal Installer (PN: 803-01-200) so the Upper Bushing rests on the tool. Push the Lower Post down against the tool to install the Upper Bushing. If you are a cheap ass that neglects his suspension and doesn’t rebuild it at minimum once a year, you probably want to use external lube to mitigate the damage you are absolutely causing.(Looking at you Midwest, I know you)

The coatings on the stanchion are porous, they hold a small amount of oil to lube themselves during use.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. WET SEAL: Yes. One can imagine their stanchions are penetrating their lowers. Given it’s a tight fit, lube will reduce the heat on your forks’ seals as the result of friction. Without using lube, seals prematurely wear resulting in dirt/grime finding it’s way into the bath system. The space between the seals and the stanchions is extremely minute to prevent foreign particles from entering your lowers. Seals are the major line of defense for keeping them out. Ensuring that stanchions/seals are properly lubed will extend the life and performance of your fork.
