TF2 on fork shock seal?

Hey guys,

What's the best way to clean the front shock absorber seals after a day of riding in the rain? At the moment I just spray some TF2 on thm, is there anything else i should be doing?

Thanks

No idea what TF2 is, but what does the fork manufacturer say to do?

TF2 is a brand of bike lube from the UK, brand, as in there are lots of different products which all have TF2 in the title.

For the OP, your question is a bit too vague, what fork, and which TF2 product? Add to that, confusing terminology, the term Shock is normally reserved for the rear, Forks for up front.

For cleaning after use, just water will be fine, if adding product to them, would be using whatever the manufacture specs,, not a general lube on fork seals

I meant the fork seals, to stop them corroding with rainwater

The product looks fine, but how is rain going to corrode them?
