Suspension Forks are a key part of the vast majority of mountain bikes, including both hardtail and full suspension bikes. It’s important therefore to keep suspension forks in great condition, understanding the simple yet effective methods of maintaining suspension forks, ensuring longevity, reliability and performance.

The most important part of maintaining suspension forks, is ensuring that the fork itself remains lubricated. This means ensuring that there is enough lubrication within the fork, which not only assists the free movement of the working parts, but also ensures that dirt does not enter the fork itself. The reason for lubrication is to protect the many seals within the suspension fork.

Seals within a suspension fork include an external dust seal, as well as an additional oil seal, or foam ring within the fork. The foam ring protects the fork in a couple of different ways, firstly it collects any particles of dust and dirt which can get in the fork, secondly - it ensures that lubrication remains within the fork. To keep these seals working well, it’s essential they are kept well lubricated.
