I am not sure if i need to clean the front shocks
I am wondering if i need to clean my front shocks. I have 100 mm of travel, becuase of the lubricant dirt seems to find its way to the slider tube very fast. Im afraid that this dirt will get into the mechanism. I wipe off what i can but it seems that next ride within minutes its there again. Do i need to clean out my shocks? I dont want dirt getting inside it.

The seals on modern forks are a lot better than what they used to be.
What brand / model of fork is it?
Also, if you're that concerned you'll want to check this out.

Ummm yeah service / replacement might be a good option. The seals on those weren't the greatest.
