It's pretty mucky out there at the moment so now's the time to give your fork a little love after your ride.

You know how is is ... you get in from a ride, quickly wash the bike and then it's time for a cup of tea. Whilst you're supping your tea you remember to lube the chain otherwise it will be a stiff, rusty mess the next time you go to ride. Well, whilst your lubing your chain with that sweet Teflon-enriched oil, just put a couple of drops on your fork's upper tubes. Push them up and down a few times then wipe off the excess oil complete with the dirt lifted from the wiper seal lip with a clean rag. So, next time you ride, both your chain and your fork will be silky smooth before you hit the first puddle!
