Clean the stanchions

We see a lot of bikes coming in with filthy stanchions and for today’s tech tip we are going to explain why it’s so important to clean them. Keeping your dust seals clean will help maintain the performance and life of your fork. After each ride wipe your upper tubes clean of dirt, water, mud, and oil. Apply a small amount of fork oil or Teflon-based chain lubrication to the area of upper tube closest to the dust seal. Cycle (push down) your fork a few times to spread the lubrication. You’re all set for tomorrow’s ride!

CO2 Cover

Cut a section of tube and slip it over your Co2. No longer will you hear the annoying rattling sound from your seat bag and it’ll keep your hand from freezing when you use it.
