  • Fork Reassembly

    I'm putting the forks back together and the manual says "Apply a light coat of lithium soap base grease to the O-rings in the air joint bracket." I have a spray can of Valvoline "Pyroil White Lithium Grease," is this the right stuff? If not what am I looking for? Thanks.

    just use whatever fork oil ur using
    and smear a bit of that on the seals,
    u'll be fine.

      I have not pre-lubed my seals before assembly, not been a problem to date.
      Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

      When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
