Jim Bowen 1 Posted June 10, 2010 i put copper grease on mine, but they do have stainless steel threads anyway. have you ever seen the socks that go over the springs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 10, 2010 Clean the threads and wrap them in duck tape :D Greases and waxes just attract dirt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V-Dubstar 0 Posted June 10, 2010 Lol, didn't get a reply before I went out - gave em a good clean with a toothbrush (minus the toothpaste :lol: ) and applied a thin coating of grease. Suprised by how much I lowered it - N/S/R about 8-10mm and O/S/R about 15mm!! Looks much better now been meaning to do it for a while, will have to go for a spin later and take some photo's on the most level surface I find! :D Probably find out it's a wonky donkey!
