JConcepts RM2 Red O-ring grease and treatment

Coming from JConcepts is the RM2 Red O-ring grease and treatment. The grease helps seal the shock shaft to O-rings and prevents unwanted leakage while still smooth enough to maintain the plush action a race shock requires. Another added bonus of using a treatment in this area is additional protection against dirt, dust and built-up on the shock-shafts, this can lead to less damage on the shafts during heavy-usage. The high-quality, smooth consistency grease comes in a clean and simple container for application and storage.
