damn, i would be down to split some but with someone on this side of the pond.

i just g ave my boxxer a rebuild using ohlins 5wt for the damper, and 7/8ths raytech 15wt with a touch of the ohlins 1/16th and triflow1/16th, for the lower leg lubercation for both side. smooth as budda.

i also found some dried tri flow on the lower part of my fork, could i try spraying my stantions with triflow letting them try then buffing them/?

sweet, if i split it 4 ways (250ml each) its gonna be $30(£15) per person + shipping.

i wouldn't mind shipping to the us, i just checked, a rough estimate would be around $12 to ship to the us in five working days.

and it would be about £4 to france. this is based on a 500g package.

anyone have a better idea for packing it? i am just thinking 500ml coke bottles.

edit, payment by pay pal.

give me the word and i'll order the 1L bottle asap... :cheers:

like usually if you just fill out a bogus claim fork you can get anything across without much hassle.

do some reading:p


i check with the post office and there shouldn't be any problem, unless customs in the us have a problem with it... i can put it in little bottles like these and they will look like cosmetics or something like that. and its not highly flammable, so they shouldn't be a problem there...

:stupid:

you only add about 5ml in a 888, and i dont know how much oil you need in there but i am guessing 200+ml? and the way i would use it is just applying it to the stanchions.

this product is water based....it will NOT mix with oil nor is it designed to be a wet lubricant of any kind. Do not put it 'in' your fork.

wipe it on and let dry over night...then put the fork/whatever back together and fill with normal fork oil.

it is water based, but it is meant to be used in hydraulic oil. and 5ml is the rough mixing ratio need for a 888. i do not know how much you would need per stanchion. 5ml is a bit low.. probably around 20ml.

i am going to get some, just waiting for enough ppl.

No, the chain has high wear areas that are metal to metal contact and no way to re bath the chain during cycling. It helps but wears off fast. Just keep a clean chain. :D
I will try and get some more tm-88 in the next day or so, I have been busy but now have a reason aside of this to make a stop.
I'll keep all posted.

I wouldnt do more than 10ml per stanchion based on the mixing and dillusion into the fork oil. It works really well, as well as once the forks broke in and you reapply it to the stanchions its a huge difference again. I reapply it to the stanchions every 3-5 rides or so. Just because i have it.

its about $42 for 250ml, shipping included. just a rough estimate... i have enough people right now actually... might order it today.

edit, check with bullcrew too... it might be easier for you to get it from someone on the same side of the world.

bullcrew, when you apply the coating to the stanchions and add some to the lube oil, shouldn't it last for a few months? does applying it every 3-5 rides keep it at its optimum?
