Lubing suspension fork

IDave

What do you guys use to lube the stanchions on your fork?

Is it ok to use Green Finish Line?

I use Fox Float Fluid.

The best lube to use is the oil or whatever is the lube in the fork.

Chain lube can be used as well.

Don't use aerosols.

For the exposed part of the stanchions I use Fork Juice. Seems to work well removing gunk from the tops of the seals and keeping the fork action smooth.

yes - I've used green (Wet) Finish Line on fork stanchions and it's fine (but now use Brunox)

Whatever you use (all suggestions above are good) only apply a very fine layer and cycle the fork through it's travel a few times.
Too much lube on the stanchions will attract dirt and cause more damage than it prevents.

Thanks guys, I'll just use Finish Line and wipe off the excess with a (lint free ) cloth.

Fork Juice gets my vote, just a little each ride

Silicone Lube for me, but thinking when my little bottle runs out im gonna use fork juice, mate put a bit on mine the other day it it was much better.

One tip I picked up from a Sram Tech is to use a zip tie to peel back a small gap in the fork seal. Then dribble oil down into the foam rings. Do this in a few spots around the seal. This is preferable to lathering up the stanchion as RC says; it'll just trap dirt. Mr Sram Tech said a chain lube would be fine but obvs the same oil as in the fork would be preferable.
