I too my fox float shock apart today - just to give it a clean and inspect the seals (they were fine)
Thought the LBS would stock those little sachets of fluid that your supposed to pop in when your putting it back together - no one in Derby seems to stock it !!!
Is there anything else I can use that does the same thing ?
thanks
just for the air can?
Any 5 - 10wt suspension fluid will do
motorbike shops should have it but avoid anything that claims to have 'seal swell' or similar properties
Any 5 - 10wt suspension fluid will do
Float fluid is a lot thicker than that. You'll probably be OK though.
olive oil mixed with Balsamic vinegar, with a dash of blue food colouring will do*
*anyone daft enough to try this does so at their own risk
Uplink yes just for the air can - it only acts as a lube
some useful details here

just get a bottle of float fluid. It's only a tenner and lasts forever. It is different to suspension oil (it is very very thick - 85wt I think - and it contains molybdenum)

Suspension oil won't do any harm though if it's all you can get hold of
drop of 3in1...
retro 83 - yeah just seems a bit overkill when i need less than 5ml of it !
well, quite. That's why it lasts so long. 😉
