Finish Line Stanchion Lube: Rider Review

 Our "Rider Review" article series features the honest reviews from verified purchasers of Worldwide Cyclery. They contain the photos, thoughts, feedback & overall review you are looking for. 

Shock and fork stiction is one of the big issues we still with modern suspension. This little bottle of liquid gold lube helps make it a thing of the past. Check out our friend Ivan's experience with it and how it has helped his ride perform better.

Intro:

Where to begin with Finish Line’s Stanchion Fluoro Oil. Well, if I could give this a one to five-star rating, then this would definitely deserve a six. One of my all-time favorite little bike maintenance secrets, I’ve been using this product for 5 years now. If you’re skeptical or wondering what’s so special about a pretty costly tiny bottle of oil then look no further than here. This is no regular oil or lube. Fluoropolymer oil is basically the slipperiest substance you can use on sliding surfaces to reduce stiction. 

Performance:

Two to three drops of this guy on your fork seals, shock, and dropper ensure perfect operation and the added bonus of actually pulling out that hard to remove moon dust that likes to hang out on seals as soon as you cycle your suspension. When used regularly, I’ve had to perform less lower leg services on my fork, fewer shock rebuilds and way faster/smoother dropper returns.

All in all, you can use this little guy on anything that could benefit from less friction/stiction. So yes, think also about shifter cables, spokes, pivots, etc. This guy will always be in my toolbox. Highly recommend!
