Hi,
Just ordering bits to do the lower service and I noted on SRAM service guide that I need to apply grease to the plastic seals either slick and kick or Sram butter. Before I go forking out money I have Weldite cycle Grease with Teflon (red colour) at home would it be perfectly fine to use this?
Many Thanks
Paul

Depends on the exact spec and what additives are in it, but it will probably be fine, the lower the friction the better (so teflon additive helps).Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

Thanks, Its the TF2 weldtite, i had a look on their website and says ok to use on suspension systems and as its such a small amount that is added hopefully it be ok. I just never read anyone using this grease for their fork service and wasn't 100% sure if it be safe.

Suitable for suspension probably means bushes, but I would say it will probably be fine anyway.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
