Can anyone suggest me some good post-ride sus fork maintenance?
Having ridden mainly rigid singlespeeds for the last couple decades I'm used to riding my bike hard and putting it away dirty. And then brushing the mud off with a stiff broom once it's dried.
Now that I've built a bike with a Fox fork though I'm realising it needs a bit more care. So far I've been wiping the uppers and seals to get rid of dirt and giving the uppers a wee spray with WD40 or the like. This ok or is there something better I could be doing? Suspension specific lubes or anything?

Cool.
I saw you can get 10mm nuts with the ball end thing to use it with a solid axle
but they are pretty pricey so I was going to grab a pair of those axle extenders for stabilisers from halfords, braze a nut on the end and the turn it ball shaped on the lathe.Looked them up to post a pic,
And turns out they are pretty cheap from SJS so will probably just grab a set from them.

Any of you oxy/propane brazers tried these multi-jet nozzles?
I saw them mentioned on another forum, maybe STW(?) so I picked up a 3 and a 5 plus you need a new neck to screw them onto.
Pretty impressed with them, they seem to pump a lot more heat into the workpiece and keep that heat more focused.
Feel a bit closer to oxy/acet to work with.
I felt the std nozzle was too slow heating things up so by the time I had the metal at wetting temp temp, I'd toasted my flux, Doesn't seem to happen so much with these mulit-jet tips.
Flame seems a lot more stable, the propane lights easier and the flame doesn't pull away from the tip if I've got it on a bit too much like it would with the standard nozzle and I've not had the mulitjet tip extinguish by accident at all.
