[Closed] Looking after suspension

allankelly · 2009-11-01T00:08:59Z

Hullo, after years of curmugeonly SS and rigid riding I've got a full sus bike. I've sold out, gone all mainsteam, got old. I've still got the SS collection, obviously. Anyway, I'm dead paranoid about the fact that the seals on the sus units are pretty exposed to trail muck. What's the recommended solution? I searched a bit and there's pre-ride thick greasy stuff, thinner silicon spray that you leave on, as well as cleaners and you should leave the bike stored upside down.... Then there's (fugly but surely effective) covers from Lizard Skins and the like. How to look after these things then? They are very expensive! Cheers, al.

Ahhh always nice to dispell a myth Cheers! 8)

Nice one uplink. flippinheckler, without trying to preach or blow my own trumpet. I don't base my maintenance on myth, just 30+ years of machanical fettling as a profession and a hobby.

In that case I would carry on blowing your own trumpet, handy to know these things. 😀
