Hey Chaps,

How much grease do you put on your wiper seals during a service? I've always just packed the inner lip surface of the seal with grease, but wondering if that could cause drag?

Do you just out a thin layer on, or really pack it onto the seal surface?

Cheers

Ricks

Just did mine, thin layer of rockshox dynamic grease round the seal. Let the wipers / oil do their job.

thin layer here but I use motorcycle grease like Silkolene Pro RG2 as it's about 15 times cheaper.

Thin layer here as well. I also turn my bike upside down for a few mins pre ride so the oil in the fork can lube the foam ring and wiper from inside.

Once a week I use WPL forkboost on the stanchions.
