New to RS Maxles...the rod seemed to lack any grease when I got the forks: should I grease the Maxle rod? Any bits to avoid?
Cheers
why the hell not, I did on my Pikes.
I leave them clean and grease free, it'll only attract muck if you use it in dirty conditions or ever drop it on gravel.

Dunno...thats why I was asking 😀
Just grease the threads.
Definately grease it, prevents seizing and aids fitting/removal. Have had 3 Pikes over the last 2 years with zero problems.
apply grease but very very little
my pike is about 2.5 years old, never greased it, its been fine.
I'll give it a light greasing
Cheers chaps
have a look on any internet forum that nestles newbies (pinkbike springs to mind) and you will see a fair few people have problems with maxles seizing because they haven't greased them. i would highly recommend applying a small amount of grease to prevent this posibility.
