Bike maintenance and chain lube advice

roosterfoot

Hi all I'm new to downhilling and in fact haven't yet been out on my new bike. I have just got a Marin rift zone and would like advice on regular maintenance regime for the gears, drives, chain, suspension and brakes please.

Brakes are juicy disc brakes and suspension is fox back and front.

I would also like to know of a good lube for the above gear. I'm new to this so apologies for all the questions. I have read about dry and wet lubes and I'm confused. I will be riding on local tracks and in Wales but nothing too heavy.

Thanks in advance

any quality chain lube for all of the above except the brakes. where some brake cleaner and a tooth brush.
