Hi guys,
Can someone tell me exactly what grease I'd need for the spring in a Tora 318 U-Turn (09's I think). I'm changing the spring for the yellow soft spring but I can't see anywhere what grease I need?
Thanks all 😀
Anyone? 😀
I use rsp ultra-slick, although any other proper fork grease would do. I see that crc do stendec easy-slide, pace rc7, manitou prep m (expensive though) and rock'n'roll super slick greases. Any of them would do better than your normal grease as they won't do anything nasty if they get near your seals, (and definitely use proper fork grease if you are actually dismantling and servicing the fork rather than just swapping the spring.)
When you change the spring, don't forget to lie the fork on its side throughout as you will lose the 15cc of oil in the bottom on the floor otherwise, and then coat the ourside of the spring and the threads of the top cap with your grease. There used to be a guide for changing pike springs on the tf tuned website: process is pretty much the same for all RS coil u-turn forks.
Happy fiddling! 🙂
Thanks JW for all the info, I may just get some RSP Ultraslick then. Do you think this'll work as well? [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=5954 ]HERE[/url] It says it'll work on suspension systems?
😀
yes. If i was servicing them properly I would still invest a couple more quid in dedicated suspension grease for the seals but that will be fiiiiiine.
Thanks again, much appreciated 😀
