Hi All,
I put grease on my forrk springs to keep them from rusting but I'm not sure
I put enough on to dampen the springs but the theory makes sense....at least
as far as the grease keeping the springs from resonating.

| I remember reading or hearing a while back that on loop frame, drum brake front forks you are supposed to liberally coat the fork springs with a thick grease prior to installation. Is this an old wive's tale or is it recommended and necessary? As I remember, the reasoning I heard was that it kept the springs from being noisy. Is that correct? Any feedback would be appreciated.
