Cool I will look into that Sent from my eMAX mini using Tapatalk

Thanks! I was already looking into Motorex Bike Grease 2000 instead of the one above. Because I prefer to order all lubricants I need at once at one webshop. I have read good reviews and it is synthetic and calcium based. Isn't that also the case with SlickHoney? Sent from my eMAX mini using Tapatalk

Hi there, I have started servicing my Epicon fork and I am at the point to order all the stuff I need like fork oil (5wt, 10wt, 15wt) and some 75w/80w gearoil for the air chamber. I also want to add some grease to the online shop cart. I have read I shouldn't use petroleum of lithium based grease. So I was thinking about calcium based grease. I want to use it for the parts below after thorough cleaning: Negative spring: Air piston: Question: Can I use the following grease? Motorex FETT 176 GP Thanks for all the replies!

Update: The DIY Service went OK. I cleaned the lowers inside with rubbing alcohol (ethanol based) it is called 'spiritus'. I lubed the lowers again with 15wt fork oil. Changed the damper oil with 5wt fork oil from the middle (this took a few times for desired result). Then I put some red rubber grease on thr travel adjustment spring/rod and air piston. Reassembled the fork and put a bit of 15wt oil into the lowers and 75w oil into the air chamber. Next Sunday testrun[emoji41] Very interesting topic. I just took apart my fork for DIY service purposes. Next step is to get the right oil for different purposes. Just to be sure I would like to know if I am on the right track: First I ordered some foam rings, which I don't have at this moment: Inner diameter 32mm. One pair with height of 5mm and one pair with 9mm height. Regarding oil I am thinking about: - 15wt oil (synthetic) to put into the lowers on both sides, and to soak foam rings. - 5wt oil (synthetic): to refresh the oil in the rebound damper cartridge. - 75w synthetic gearbox oil: to put into the airchamber to prevent air leakage. Questions: 1. Do you have any remarks about the things stated above regarding the oil I want to acquire? 2. Can I use 5w40 or 10w40 motor oil as an alternative for the lower legs and air chamber? 3. When I want to refresh the oil in the damper cartridge, should I open the damper at the top (27mm black threaded topcap) or should I open it at the middle? 4. In this thread I noticed 5wt oil can also be added into the damper stanchion. That is not quite clear to me. Do I have to put in some oil in to this stanchion and distribute it on the inner edges of the damper stanchion, before threading back de damper cartridge? Looking forward to your tips Or tricks.
