Which grease?

[doobeycat]

I am currently in the process of building a Raptor Titan and am a little confused as to what grease to use where!

Can anyone with a little bit of experience give me an idea of what types of grease I should be using where and also where I can buy them?

Cheers

I use Teflon grease for bikes.

I use it on my dampers and one way bearing.

Got it from Halfords.

Don't use any grease with petroleum in it. This will 'eat' your rubber bits and also the tail belt if it gets on it.

Cheers

I use tri flow grease for dampers and one way bearing, and Tri flow oil for the tail pitch slider, washout and swash ball.

both available from quick UK

No it's silicone based
NOTE some silicone oils have petroleum products in them, not many but some do.

Some lithium greases also have petroleum products in them best to check the lable if you are not sure.
