1 Dust Seals. Thu Mar 30, 2023 8:09 am

I've been packing silicone grease between the seal and the dust seal for the last 20+ years. I change it once or twice a year or after driving on really dusty roads. It lubes the fork tubes and stops bugs from sticking. After the initial packing it does leave a thicker film which reduces over time. I had just changed the grease but after riding on a really dusty road recently on Nabiac 2000 K road trip I decided to have a look. There was a fair bit of crap suspended in the grease. The grease was white when first packed in just prior to the trip. I know fork gaiters would probably do the same job but i don't like the look of them.
Regards Martin.
