    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!

  • @roythearcher
    @roythearcher 4 года назад +9

    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!

    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
