Just remember to grease it, WD40 isn't lubricant :)

For everyone who's watching, he did it all correctly except for that he forgot to grease it properly at the end (WD40 does not serve as Grease). Bike suspensions should always use non rubber corrosive greases like Calcium Grease with almost always type 2 grease viscosity. Nice video, bye bye!

Hi, I've just a bike with these forks, do they not need any fork oil?

[@josuevalar6465]

Hi, do you know where to get those other than a bike shop?

[@rileymullet7932]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I am converting a couple old bikes into a dirt jumper bike and I needed suspension for heavy landings. I used this video and it saved my life as I was going to buy a new suspension fork but I used the video and saved at least a hundred bucks

[@sammywhammy2]

Thank you so much for this video. It helped me restore an old mountain bike so I can get into the sport! You helped me get into the sport of mountain biking and I probably wouldn’t have been able to do it without you.

[@YorkshireBeaver]

All fork instructions say Don't ever use WD40 on them. It swells seals and causes damage. Only use Correct grease

[@Pushbikesteve]

I was about to say that. You can almost hear the cry from help as he compressed 😂

[@jameslowe2979]

Thanks for posting, just bought my son a 2nd hand mtb bike and the forks are stiff. This is really useful.

That was fantastic!!! Just what I was looking for! Thanks dude!

[@mywaveinwoodswoodperfumes]

I’m a beginner, and this definitely super helpful

[@roythearcher]

If you don't have grease to hand Don't use WD40 use something like a wet chain lube if you have to. It'll protect the moving parts far better than a thin, solvent based oil which will dry out quickly and leave everything unprotected. Better still, wait until you have a dedicated suspension grease!

[@edgardoinfante3858]

You missed the grease.

[@Jap_masters]

Edgardo Infante yes I did...all I had at the time was WD40

[@edgardoinfante3858]

Thanks for the video. I did the same yesterday with my fork and used your technique to clean the spaces between the fork and the tubes with a rug and a stick. Happy riding :)

[@Jap_masters]

Edgardo Infante That's it man!!! Keep Riding🤘🏻

[@jonestizmo1872]

Thanks for this. I have just bought a teflon grease and wondering where exactly i should apply it to my fork?

Great vid, only change is the WD-40 for final lube. It is mostly kerosene not a lubricant and evaporates. Need to add a lite lube at the assembly. Great work.

[@_mimirrronig6755]

We had the same fork bro. Now I can definitely clean mine

[@Diom79]

nice work m8. A piece of practical advice. When you spray WD40 on an item and then plan to clean it with a rug, better to hold the rug behind it durig spray, in order to avoid making a mess around and not waste lubricant material

[@SeanDIY]

Nicely done. I was thinking you were about to grease it and then forgot about it. I'd maybe spray white lithium grease down the fork.

[@mentalmtbtwo9851]

Jesus no it would destroy the lowers as they are made out of magnesium, Always use suspension grease

[@harriethare9266]

Love the old school GT and Giant bikes😍👍

[@kieron6644]

Did you do both sides of the suspension or just the lock side?

[@leenapriyan]

Very helpful & Thanks.

[@alekabitmore7755]

I have a question that i would really want answered. My bike's front oil suspension was recently changed and one day while i was doing wheelies my bike's suspension maxed and from then when i try to do a manual or a bunny hop or whenever i try to lift my front wheel it makes a loud noise. I searched it on both Google and KZbin but i didn't find anything. If you know how can i solve this problem i would really appreciate it

I purchased a new Aventon Level E Bike in Mar 2022, it has the cheap zoom fork, after about 2 weeks the front fork makes a clunk sound when going over some bumps and it's pissing me off, it does not do this when it's locked out though, does anyone know what the issue is? Or even an upgrade fork the would fit this bike? Thanks John

Hello i have the problem. Can you please help me, when i push them in they wouldnt come back up, and it just blocks like that, and i need to pull them up to get them back, and they wont even go in after some time, and also they are hard to pull in. Some people told me to that i need to rub them with hard paper, and wd-40 but i dont know if that would damage them, idk what to do pls help me. I drive TREK XCALIBER 8, with suntour xcr fork.

I have a GT Avalanche Comp 29 from 2018. It has a tapered frame. I would like to upgrade the Suntour forks to RockShox. My current Suntour forks are straight. My question is can I replace my straight Suntour forks with Tapered RockShox forks on my bike that has a tapered frame and if so what do I require to do this?

Nice! thanks..... I have Spinner Grind shocks on a Marin Pioneer Trail I just picked up. I don't know if they are air or spring. I guess I'll find out!! I'll ask at my LBS today.

[@ChillySenpai]

If they are air on the bottom of the fork there will be a cap that u can turn if u want the fork to get out faster or slower

[@ValentinosKoutekidis]

At this point I would replace the fork 😂. So much trouble for a fork that will at some point need replacing. But besides that it's a great video. Keep up the good work

did you only used WD 40 inside of the suspension??
