[Closed] Juicy Lubes Fork Juice

Good gear and a can lasts forever

Yep, good stuff. Not entirely sure it's any better than cheaper silicon sprays mind, but considering the price difference I am completely unconcerned about that.

Tis ace stuff

tweeking on the cheap

@northwind there was a thread on here about that ages ago, i think JL use a much higher content of silicon* hence the slightly higher price...

still, its very good stuff. but the cans don't last forever as mine has just run out...

*disclaimer, i could be talking out my arse.

i use it, stuff still works 🙂

Any reason not to use this on a reverb? Mine gets a bit of stiction when its been sat unused for a while...

I use it on my reverb which has run flawlessly for over a year. So no problem.

nice, might make a purchase!

It seems thicker than standard silicon spray.
I've got 2 tins and don't think I'll ever get onto the 2nd one even though I use it often

Think its great stuff...My current bottle seems to have a more fragrant/floral smell than my original bottle: anyone else notice that or am I spraying Febreeze on my forks? 😕

Seconded, even my Joplin works perfectly with a bit of juice lube.

Just started using it too, only complaint might be the very wide-angle of the spray and the fact that 75% misses the stanctions (but at £7 for a big tin, it doesnt really matter).

Other than wiping the stanchions down, is there any additional maintenance I should be doing to keep my forks running well? Didn't realise people were lubing them...

I don't use the official stuff but I spray a ton of silicone spray on my stanchions before most rides, and it seems to keep them very happy.

I use it after every wash (wash commuter weekly everything else after every ride)
Is also really useful for caliper piston rings if you have the pistons out for proper cleanage...
My brother blasts it around his bb she'll before very wet/mucky rides also from a point of view of runoff..

This is an Interweb Fact- but supposedly it's a commercially available product used by glaziers, with a different label on it. Not that fussed tbh! Main thing is just how well it works and I've still not seen any definite difference between it and my cheap Halfords silicon.

I use the Fork Juice though because it smells nicer and it feels right 😉 Think the exact same is true of Brunox which I also use, though mainly because it comes in a convenient tiny can.

Does anyone know of a place online to purchase this fabled stuff? I've searched but failed

There you go.. 🙂
The first one is some sort of limited edition sexy chick one..

Thanks. That was generally the problem when googling it

Been meaning to try this stuff

Don't know it it makes *that* much difference but it smells awesome.

it might smell awesome but if you could buy it for a third of the price would you ? In the build trade and engineering silicone spray is used for lots of stuff .Try a local tool trade branch/srewfix miles cheaper. silicone spray is silicone spray !

It's made by a company called Rock Oil and branded as Juicy Lubes. They manufacture sprays, lubes, etc for a lot of other companies (mTB and Motor) to rebrand as their own.
I still use it regularly but it's no substitute for giving your forks a proper lube and/or service every once in a while.
I was at the Forest Of Dean last week and I think that I was the only person there (with a bike over £300) that wasn't spraying forks and shocks with the stuff - mainly because I'd forgotten my bike wash kit that day so has to do it at home.
