I was all set to have my first go at fork servicing this weekend but was just looking through the Sektor manual and it says to use "suspension oil soluble" grease. I was planning on just using some normal black lithium grease that I use for other bike stuff as I have a massive tub of it but will this somehow harm the internals? Or will any old grease do?

Stendec Easy Glide for me.

Whatever you use, you don't need much so a little goes far

Stendec fork grease has done me well for the last four years (one small pot)

Don't put tractor grease in your forks.
