Product Information

Full details

Stan's Biobased ForkBoost is for cyclists seeking to improve their bike's suspension performance and longevity. Its key benefit is banishing stiction and extending seal life with a powerful, eco-friendly formula. A minor caveat is that it's primarily a lubricant and cleaner, not a sealant repair. This product cleans and lubricates suspension seals, reducing dirt buildup and friction for a smoother, more responsive ride. Its advanced biobased formula is safe for rubber and plastic components, making it ideal for regular maintenance and fork rebuilds.

FAQs

What is Stan's Biobased ForkBoost used for?

It is used to clean and lubricate suspension fork seals, banish stiction (stickiness), and extend the life of your suspension components.

Is this product safe for my suspension seals?

Yes, it is safe for all rubber and plastic suspension parts. It contains no PTFE and is designed not to cause swelling or cracking.

How often should I use ForkBoost?

It's recommended to use it periodically, especially after washing your bike or riding in dusty or muddy conditions, to maintain optimal performance and seal health.

Can I use ForkBoost during a fork rebuild?

Absolutely. It is ideal for fork rebuilds as it helps soak foam seals and can adjust grease thickness for improved internal performance.

What does 'biobased' mean for this product?

Biobased means the formula is composed of natural, biodegradable ingredients, making it an eco-friendly choice for bike maintenance.

How much ForkBoost should I apply?

Apply a small amount directly to the seals and stanchions. Work it in by cycling the suspension and wipe away any excess.

What is the benefit of the recycled packaging?

The bottle is made from 100% recycled sea plastic, demonstrating a commitment to reducing environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Suspension still feels sticky after application

Ensure seals were thoroughly cleaned before application. Apply a second, small amount and cycle the suspension again. If the issue persists, there may be internal damage or excessive wear on the seals.

Product seems to be attracting more dirt

Wipe away excess ForkBoost thoroughly after application. The product should leave a thin, clean film, not a sticky residue. Over-application can lead to increased dirt adhesion.

Foam rings in fork are not retaining lubricant

Soak the foam rings thoroughly with ForkBoost during a fork service. Allow them to sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid before reassembly. Ensure the correct thickness of grease is used internally as per fork manufacturer recommendations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean the Suspension: Ensure the fork stanchions and seals are clean and free of debris. A degreaser or suspension cleaner can be used prior to application.
  2. Apply ForkBoost: Apply a small amount of ForkBoost directly to the suspension seals and stanchions. Use the applicator tip to precisely target the seal area.
  3. Work the Lubricant: Gently compress the suspension fork several times to evenly distribute the lubricant. This helps it penetrate the seals and work its way into the foam rings (if applicable).
  4. Wipe Excess: Wipe away any excess product with a clean, lint-free cloth.
