Hi

During cleaning, I accidently got a lot of GT85 on the stanchions to my brand new fox fork (it has only been used once). I've read a lot about how this could be detrimental to the fork. I would welcome some advice on

1) how the fork might be affected;
2) how I might remedy what I have done;
3) how to care for the stanchions in the future during post-ride cleans.

Thanks in advance

Either clean all GT85 from the stanchions or do a lower leg service to remove the G85 (I don't think so little fluid will do much damage)

Look after them by squirting teflon lube on the stanchions and compressing them.

Thanks, Shorty 121. Are we talking about the same (finish line) dry teflon lube that I would use on my chain?
