Message: >I bought a Manitou Magnum R fork with my new bike. My question is whether it is possible to substitute marine grease for Prep M or 5 weight car oil for the TPC Sport fluid. Would marine grease even work for the springs where you need heavier grease. Also, what chemicals hurt the nylon, teflon, or plastic parts within the fork. I know I'm cheap, you don't have to tell me. Would white lithium grease work instead of Prep M lubricant? Help me out here.
