Morgan Blue Aquaproof Paste works similarly but is more affordable.

looks interesting; price is same as the Motorex but it's a bigger tub. Probably 2 lifetimes worth lol.

It says it's very adhesive; does that mean it's just a really tacky grease, or does it have a holding function?

It feels like a very thick hair gel when being applied.

There is a warning on the side of the jar, apparently

Features

. Developed for assembling seat post (seat tube), bottom brackets, headset and screws
. Makes aforementioned parts waterproof, where rubbers fail

Got the bike out of the car at the trail, thought I’d check the rear shock pressure as I’d had to top it up last time. OK now the negative bladder (DVO Topaz) hmm a little top up, must have lost a bit connecting the pump. Two strokes in and it loses most of the 200psi WTF has the bladder thing failed ? Tryna go for a farken ride FFS 🤦🏻
While fiddling around I notice the barrel of the pump is loose so nip it up and retry pump. Phew all ok 200psi thank you very much.
Better put something on the pump threads to prevent a repeat episode.

I hate it when I am only 2 strokes in and I lose my pressure 😅

Any car park bike twiddling tempts the all seeing trail gods to give you a back hander.
When we think 'This will just take a minute' then you just know that something out there will be stacking the odds against you.

Ha! I did this with the track car before a street sprint a few years back. Guess who watched rather than participated? Later discovered I had dislodged a small earth wire that was wedged rather than screwed in position until I fucked about tidying up the harness.
