Lubrication of the seals of a RS Judy SL (2001 model)

[Marc Hartsuiker]

Hello,

I'm from the Netherlands and so far I've been advised, by several people (knowledgable ones for that
matter), to use Brunox for lubricating the *** seals on my RS Judy SL (2001 model). However, as
Brunox has no distributor in the Netherlands, finding it will be tricky. My question there for would
be, has someone used different oils (other then the RS ones) for lubricating the *** seals, and for
the general maintenance, of a RS Judy SL? Any hints towards oils that can be used, and can be
purchased around the Netherlands area, would be appreciated.

With kind regards,

Marc

I have no idea what Brunox is. However I've always found that chain lube works well to lubricate the
wipers on a fork. I put a few drops on the top of the seals and work it in by compressing the fork.
I've never had problems.
