FAQs
Can I use this for my chain?
No. This fluid is formulated specifically for air suspension seals and will not provide the necessary protection or durability for a bicycle chain.
How often should I apply this?
It should be applied whenever you perform a scheduled air sleeve service, typically every 50 hours of riding or as recommended in your Fox fork/shock manual.
Is 5cc enough for one shock?
Yes, 5cc is the standard volume required for most Fox Float air sleeve services.
Does this replace standard suspension oil?
No. This is an anti-friction lube for air chambers and should not be used in the damping cartridge or for bath oil lubrication.
Is this safe for all Fox seals?
Yes, it is designed to be compatible with the rubber compounds used in Fox suspension seals.
Troubleshooting
Suspension still feels 'sticky' after service
Verify that the correct amount of fluid was used and that the air sleeve seals were seated correctly without pinching.
Oil leaking from the air valve or seal
This may indicate worn O-rings; ensure all seals in your Float Air Sleeve Rebuild Kit were replaced during the service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use this fluid, you must first deflate the air shock completely and remove the air sleeve according to your specific Fox model service manual. Clean the old grease and debris from the inner canister and piston. Apply the 5cc of Float Fluid directly into the air chamber before sliding the sleeve back onto the piston. Always ensure the threads are clean when re-assembling the air can. Store the fluid in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use to prevent contamination.
