Right, so I'm planning to service the air spring in my 2011 rockshox revelation dual air forks. I've been reading through the technical manual, and it says grease for air o rings and rs oil for the foam ring. But which grease? Which wt oil? I've done a bit of research, and some people are suggestion not using grease at all-gear oil/float fluid??? Please could you advise? Many thanks

    Normally listed in the things you need at the start.

    Heavyset oil listed for the rings.

    And the grease will be any suitable fork grease. I use buzzys slick honey.

    I used to use TF Tuned lower lube mix for the o rings in my dual air Pike spring.
    One thing to be careful of is to get the circlips on around the right way. One side of them has sharp edges and the other side is slightly rounded.
