Squeaky forks
I just had a set of Manitou Axel Supers fitted to my bike, because the old Rock Shocks Judy it came with were feeling to much like a pogo stick, and the compression control had busted anyway. So I'm diggin' my new Manitou's - its great to be able to control the compression and rebound, and actually have oil damping. But after only 3 weeks, and about 150km, they're getting really squeaky - which I dont reckon should happen. Forgive my ignorance, but do I need to lube them reguraly, and if so what with and how? The guy at the shop said the only maintenance I would need to do is get the seals cleaned/replaced every year or so, but theyre squeaky now, and I'm a bit concerned. Help?

Re: Squeaky forks
If you can see the dust seals drip a little Tri-Flow on the seals. If your area is very dry you may need to do this fairly often. Make sure to wipe the excess off the stanctions. If you need to lift the wiper to get access to the seal do the same thing, but maye sure everything is clean.
Go to the website below and go to the tech manual for your fork. It will be real easy to clean the wipes and lube the seals. service guides Quote:
