Hi all, i've got a Cannondale rush carbon 4 that comes with the 32RL's my question is about the stanchions. I like to keep my bikes in tip top condition so what do i put on the stanchions after a good clean lube wise?

cheers.

    I usually give them a spray of teflon lube, GT85 or similar, then compress the forks a few times to get muck out of the seals, wipe off and go.

    I've heard good reports of Fork Juice though, if you really feel the need to put something on them.

    the problem with GT85 and similar is that it will dilute and possibly wash out the Float fluid in the Foam rings.

    best to use suspension fluid the same as is in the fork already.

    Info on cleaning the seals etc can be found here.
