Fork Grease

[twain]

canny make up my mind, Manitou Prep M Grease, orrrrrrrr, Standec fork grease.
cant justify the £££ for buzzys slick honey.
i'm just servicing some old Manitous i have.....Standec is cheaper, but i've never used it....
its got to be better than Castrol LM grease right?!?!

any advice appreicated

Some petroleum-based greases can react with the materials used for your fork seals...cheap grease can equal expensive service

stendec is mega stuff, a small pot goes a long way. no seal corrosion or anything.

Would this standec also be ok to use on the gubbins inside the spring leg stanchion?

i overhauled a pair of bombers with stendec grease and lagged every thing in it and 6 months later their still smooth as. so yes i found it to be good on the internals of the fork. hope it helps.

My forks were rebuilt with Stendec lubes by the man himself. Work mint!

My favourite from when time began was Paces sticky black grease. Sod knows its number , though 2 mins to check.
Stank to high heaven but it worked very well and in the areas that it was just sitting it didnt go hard.

Not RC-7? That was dark and a great consistency but didn't stink.
