Fork Slick

Post by skipro3 »

I recall a thread on some 3M product that made fork tubes slick. I think it was 3M Novec EGC-1700 but I can't find anything here on it. Can someone recall that and point me back to that information?

Inda, is your stuff the Novec EGC-1700? I put some on my forks and it leaves a film that feels anything BUT slick.. I buffed it out and that took some effort as well. How is it supposed to be applied?

Clean the fork tubes with alcohol, Spray to saturate the surface... let dry completely, buff with soft cloth.

Works great on my tubes....

Yes, it's the Novec stuff.
