Suspension lubrication

[Grant Prince]

What can I use to lubricate the stansions on by bike's front susoension. Something like Q20 ok or is there something better on the market?

[porqui]

Keep Q20 as far away from any bicycle as you can.

 

Just wipe them down with a cotton cloth (old T-shirt)

Buy some silicon spray (Spanjaard) and lightly coat.

 

(Q20 is not a lubricant)

[Eddy Gordo]

No never q20

 

Brunox or WPL stanchion lube

This, brunox supension deo or similar, liike muc off, sram butter,  Dont use other oils

Brunox fork deo. Cogent Industries can supply

[Me rida my bicycle]

With suspension lube, spray on then push it a couple times into its travel and wipe off. Otherwise when out riding everything sticks to it.

I've also used Brunox. To my untrained eye it dis seem to make a difference.

Brunox or WPL stanchion lube

Where can one get WPL?  I haven't been able to find it locally...?

Like happiness, fork lubrication comes from within.

 

Service your fork regularly and you won't need to lubricate anything from the outside.

 

That said, something like Brunox Fork Deo, Veyga Wet Scream, Finish Line stanchion lube or just plain old fork oil can help reduce initial stiction after you've washed your bike. As said above, stay away from aerosols and all purpose oils as they often have additives including chlorine that will swell or attack the rubber in your fork seals.

and most importantly be VERY careful about your rotors when applying

Just get some fine grade wet n' dry and buff those stanchions up a beauty.

I took your advice and now my fork is ruined. 

 

I couldn't see your disclaimer at the bottom due to poor eyesight. 

 

You are not a good person.

Thanks all. Great advise (Except for the wet and dry).
