Any reason why I can't just use silicone or calcium grease? The main ingredients in slick honey seems to be petroleum and calcium.
Why risk it? The last thing you want is a thick gloopy grease clogging up or even worse damaging your seals.
I bought a big tub of slick honey years ago and I can't see it running out anytime soon.
Guess you're right. Found Stendec easy glide at bike goo, might just buy that.
I use this. Same stuff, works a treat: https://superalloyracing.com/product/stendec-easy-glide-fork-grease
(CRC are out of stock at the moment)
I use R&R super-slick, it's fairly obviously nothing like 'normal' grease.
I use tf2 grease with Teflon, never had any issues
Bikegoo are out of stock too. I already tried super alloy racing, went to checkout the price had mysteriously more than doubled.
I should add, I think Judy butter is a pretty successful bit of marketing bollocks. Unless someone can tell me what super special ingredient it contains that nothing else has
I read that some grease can cause seals to swell. I've always used normal grease around the wiper seals too. I want to swap the air spring in my 34's (if I ever find the upgrade air spring) so want to do it properly.
I've got a massive tub of superdrug vitamin E all over body cream that I'll never get through. Maybe I can use that? It's quite slippery.
One tube of stendec or whatever you fancy lasts a lot of fork services at pence per service. Not an item I would ghetto/bodge.
