I've not found one yet. Last time I asked Madison, they told me they didn't bring it in. I get mine in from the states.

Of TFT will say just put a whisp of spray lube (ie GT85) on after every ride. Depends how much you wanna be sucked off by the marketing guff of fork-specific stuff.

i got it from a store in Germany. It's good stuff, but not good enough to justify the price with postage.

I think you can get it from RWC in the states, order some seals at the same time and the postage isn't such a disproportionate amount.

I used to use a few drops on Finish Line green. Bought some Fork Juice earlier this year and think it is pretty good. clean bike, wipe down stanchions, spray some of this on, pump the fork a few times, wipe off the dirt that gets pushed up, spray again, leave till next ride 😛

Yep, another vote for Fork Juice. A can of it lasts a good length of time as well.

I've a mate coming over from the states. if I get a few bottles of the Finish Line stuff it's really not that expensive. Works will on brake seals as well. It really is very good stuff indeed though.

BUT the Fork Juice is supposed to have more Silicone in it than those cheapo ones 😉

I clean with GT and then lube with finish line wet lube. Can you explain to me how GT causes seals to "swell", what this feels like and why this is bad.

CRC (I think) sell something german called DEO fork lube I think.

Spray on after a ride, pump up and down

Spray on before ride, pump up and down

Apart from chain lube its the only maintenence my bike gets at the moment 🙂

Fenwicks Suspension Formula has made a big difference to my Durins. The seals kept drying out and going sticky.

Stendec sells some silicon based stuff for a fiver a can...keeps my forks smooth and makes carbon shine up like new too! I heard you aint supposed to use petroleum based stuff cos it does rot seals 😥
