I've just lubed the foam wipers on my Reba SL's with Fox Float fluid 'cos it's all i had.
Silly question but should i have used a RS approved oil?

Float fluid has molyb...something in it which supposedly lubes moving parts better than normal fork oil.

Sorry, i mean drain it out and set fire to it.

It'll be fine as long as you remove the Rockshox stickers and put some Fox ones on.

Have you got any green tea?

The antioxidants in it can help, just brew a cup then ..gently.. wipe over the stanchions until there's no more oily streaks when you pump the forks.

You might get away with it..

๐Ÿ˜€ I take it is should quickly log on the Fox website and buy some new forks before my Rebas explode and kill everyone whithin 300 miles?

I just wondered if it had something that would damage the seals etc.

It's a bit like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters...
