have you ever lubed the seals?
do it."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

just squirt through the yop of the mini boots and work the fork."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Finish Line Lube around the top of the fork stanchions compress the fork, then wipe off excess.0

yeah done it now thanks nicklouse.
oh and how many people here have teflon oil.(as per manufacturers instructions)
and how many people read instructions/manuals for components, not me thanks for the reminder.
Used finish line lube as i had it, seems brill now!!!0 -
I would say the majority have teflon impregnated lube for the chaoin, and most read the manuals...0
-
so does finish line lube contain teflon then?0
-
The dry lubes have Teflon, the wet one a similar polymer compound. Both will work fine!0

you learn something every day!!0

You dont really nned loads of fancy lubes for you bike TBH! FinishLine or halfords teflon does everything pretty well, as does a pot of teflon grease for greasy things. of course hydro brakes and damping need their own fluids.0
