What do you guys do to keep your fork in good shape? In the past I've always had rigid forks that needed very little (if any) maintenance. What kind of grease/lube/whatever do you use? I checked the Rock Shox website, and this is all I got:
Do: Wipe all excess water, mud, and sand from the
upper tubes, lower tubes, and crown area with a clean rag or bristle
brush (Park makes a great one!). Do: Wet a rag, or spray your fork with
isopropyl alcohol or degreaser. Wipe the crown, top caps, upper tubes,
dust seals, and lower legs clean.
Do:
Apply fork oil, RedRum, or Teflon-based lubrication to the upper tube
area nearest to the dust seals. Cycle the fork a few times to circulate
the lubricant. You can even gently pinch the dust seal, nearest to the
upper tube, and add some lubrication (mentioned above) to the inside of
the dust seal. This will lubricate the foam ring. Wipe away any excess
oil from the upper tubes and dust seals.
