Can anyone recommend some grease or lube for front suspension forks? Just to give the once over after a muddy ride etc.
I normally like finish line stuff, but not sure if they do one or not etc. Any recommendations received with thanks.

Stendec Easy Glide, or a wipe down with a teflon based spray lube.
I use Halfords own brand silicone spray, on the stanchions, compress the forks a couple of times, & wipe away the shite that the silicone pulls up from the wiper seals. ( Revelation RLT ).
I've just picked up the Stendec grease for rebuilding mine.
For the outside i use silicone spray but will probably switch to just using some fork oil in future via syringe. Don't use a GT85 spray as the solvents are bad for the seals.
Wipe clean (including around the bridge)
apply lube of choice
pump a couple of times
wipe
repeat until you stop getting dirt rings coming out of the seals.
Then lube a bit more before putting it away.
I have an old tube of Manitou Prep M lying around so I use that
I simply have a piece of sponge coated in it and give the stanchions a quick wipe after every ride
You need something with teflon in it so I use Finish Line DRY Lube.
