Jonnisnot Lubricant
Hi, Does anyone know if I can purchase the SRAM lubricant Jonnisnot in the UK?
Also does anyone know where I could see an exploded drawing/diagram of an X-7 shifter so as to be able to apply the lubricant?
Many thanks.

There are really only 3 places you need to apply the lube. And 2 of them very rarely need anything more than a once a year look. The primary one are the threads on the Adjusting ferrules of the shifters. The next 2 are inside. One spot where the cable exits into the housing and a small bit on the spring area. That's basically it. And I would use Jonnisnot. Back in the day of the old X ray shifters, we used the shop grease we had. It reacted with the plastic and degraded it. Jonnisnot is formulated to use on SRAM shifters. I am sure there is another grease out there that is safe to use, but I won't use trial and error anymore to try and find it. But If I had to guess, I would say "Slick Honey" might be safe. We use it on all suspension systems as it has been ok'd by SRAM(Rock Shox), Manitou, Fox, and Marzocchi for use with their seals.
