Have a through axel on the front of my bike for the first time.
Everytime I take the bike anywhere I have to remove the front wheel to get it in the car so its in and out pretty often.
Should I be using any grease or anything on the axel or fine as it is?

Sorry to upset the applecart, but I do grease both the front thru-axle and the rear maxle too. Was told to by the shop when I bought it so have continued to do so!

Grease mine up as well. Mostly just so it slides in easily..  |
