I sent my forks off to Mojo the other day, so when they arrive back i was planning a clean-up and re-grease of my headset

The only grease i have is the stuff in the grease gun Santa Cruz kindly supply you with frames - will that be ok?

Any help would be grateful...........

Silly pics of bananas optional 😉

That grease should be fine IMO.. I just put mine together and because they are sealed bearings I don't think the type of grease is that important.

Santa cruz ship their frames with marine grease, I use quicksilver marine grease on my ck headset and bottom bracket and it lasts ages and feels pretty smooth.

They might mention wd40 for cleaning the bearing out when servicing.
They don't advise re greasing with a solvent like that though.
Any grease will do. Though i go for a thick water resistant grease myself.
