AJ's recent article got me thinking and wondering. I service my lowers 3-4 times per year, and every time I do I LOVE the performance bump, no matter which fork. I usually lube up the air piston with slick honey while I'm at it.
So now I'm wondering. Would it be better to run a slightly thicker grease so the lube benefits last longer? Maybe stick with honey in the cold months. I usually go with OEM recommended lubes, but that stuff is so light and I know RockShocks techs sometimes recommend PM600 Military Grease in their shock air cans to increase service intervals (or in my case keep it feeling good for a full 3 months). PM600 is likely too thick for a fork, but maybe something a step heavier than Slick Honey?
Right now I'm on a Mezzer, and tempted to use RockShocks dynamic seal grease instead of Slick Honey on the air spring. I have plenty of both on hand.
It would probably not feel as supple on day one, but maybe the lube benefits would last longer. Any input from those that know better? Talk me out of it if this is a stupid idea.
