I don't know what you have availible on the other side of the big pond, but I have had pretty darn good luck with Bel-Ray from the Honda shop. It's done a good job keeping my zoke seals living and it passes the shaking bubble test as well. I usually buy a 5wt and a 10 wt and make 7.5 wt out of the two.

oh by the way this is for a boxxer and I want 20wt in one leg and 12.5 in the other (will combine 10 & 15 if I need to).

SILKOLENE

You won't find anything better, it's nice n cheap and easily available over here;)

While you're at the MX shop get your self a tub of RG2 grease too, better than any bicycle specific grease for that CK headset of yours.

.......and some MX tubes to stop that 222 blowing away, it's been quite windy recently:D

;)
