As per title. If you’d recommend lubicating the seals and pistons what do you use? Brake fluid? grease? marmite? Fox float sticky fluid?

Common sense tells me that anything else (apart from brake fluid) will contaminate the brake fluid – but then I’m a full time pen pusher and no mechanic.

Help!

Cheers in advance

high temperature Silicon grease

its what’s the factory uses…buy any Hope tackle box for bike workshop servicing and you get a bottle of Hunter silicon grease in there

Avid also sell it under their “Pit Stop” label, but its blooming hard to get in the UK

you can get the same stuff from RS Components more easily…

I use red rubber grease.

Bought from eBay for about £2 for enough to do me forever. Apply with a cotton bud but make sure it doesn’t leave any stray fibres…

Hope sell te hunter bottles on three own
Ask your lbs good chance they will have a spare bottle or can easily get them

The avid stuff is d.o.t. grease and is bloody good if not expensive and one tub will last you and your mates a lifetime.
