Can anyone suggest me some good post-ride sus fork maintenance?
Having ridden mainly rigid singlespeeds for the last couple decades I'm used to riding my bike hard and putting it away dirty. And then brushing the mud off with a stiff broom once it's dried.
Now that I've built a bike with a Fox fork though I'm realising it needs a bit more care. So far I've been wiping the uppers and seals to get rid of dirt and giving the uppers a wee spray with WD40 or the like. This ok or is there something better I could be doing? Suspension specific lubes or anything?
There is specific stantion lube. Spray it on, cycle the fork a few times. It will pull some of the funk in the dust seals up that you can then wipe off.
If the fork was used you can / should pull the lowers off and refresh the oil bath and check the wipers.
