Avid RC have announced that after scrutinizing development their Slip and Slide lubricants are now available. Avid Slip Bearing Oil is a Teflon based oil designed to reduce metal on metal wear by reducing friction and will remove dirt while displacing other moisture to add protection from rust. Avid Slide Bearing Grease comes in a 12cc syringe with a curved tip to allow for a very controlled application. This grease is the same that is already present in 90% of their bearings so you are already getting the best protection right out of the box and now you can clean and relube your bearings with the exact same high end grease to increase bearing life.
