I've read that Marzocchi recommend calcium grease for their wiper seals. Before I order some, can anyone that has used this let me know if they noticed any difference over any other grease. I know some grease will cause seals to swell, can anyone tell me which grease does this?

I usually daub the wiper seals with Fox Float fluid during servicing, and was wondering if the calcium grease would have any benefits.

I use the rockshox judy butter, or slick honey depending on which is nearer.

Silkolene Pro RG2. Something like a tenner for half a kilo from motorbike shops.

Do they not spec a grease on the service sheets?

I use RSP Slick Kick Grease from TF when servicing any forks.
