Hey guys,

What's the best way to clean the front shock absorber seals after a day of riding in the rain? At the moment I just spray some TF2 on thm, is there anything else i should be doing?

Thanks

    spraying direct is a bad bad idea.
    one you can get the over spray all over your brakes.
    two the propellant can help rot the rubber seals. just spray onto a cloth away from the bike and wipe them down. then a few drops of suspension fluid compress the fork/shock and wipe of any crud.
