Bike washing theory

In the Lefty I use higher viscosity oils for the lower. It gets greased at the service and every 50hr I add a bit of finishline wet lube. 
I use a 5w40 havoline in the RS-1 and Reba in my daughters bike. Never have sludge problems 

You would expect the left to have half the problems of a regular fork

Just oil Your Seals with Any Oil you have Lying around (Not WAX)

Don't Wash Your Bike So Much She'll Love U 4 it.

So, I have further proof of my theory and efforts. Bike was in for dropper, shock, fork and general check today. I previously as explained was replacing seals every 50 hours, also as an aside pivot bearings did not last with me. Now after washing with bike specific products and only washing the bike myself as described above. Voila, no seals or bearings required. Happy Friday Y’all

Brunox for the shox and Hersch for the bikewash is my combo and my bikes go for very long stretches without seal replacements.
