I have been wondering if I need to grease the suspension forks on my bike. When I say this I mean the stanchion tubes (I believe that's what they're called. The top tubed part of the fork that goes inside the lower tubed part when the suspension compresses). If so how often do I need to do this and with what sort of grease/lubricant. Thank you for your help people.
