Sorry Hambo, I stalked your posts. I spent all day doing a bloody boring First Aid course for the 50th time, it only took me 10 minutes of my shitty day to collect you some clangers

Well done on cable laying 2.0!
It never hurts to clean out the shifter. I love grease and I put it almost everywhere...I can't recall ever putting it in a shifter. I've sprayed inbox and silicone in there.

A shifter isn't sealed to the elements. Do not overgrease it, all that dust will stick to the grease and if it gets into the mechanism it will be like filling it with grinding paste. Shifters have little grease, leave it as it is. Wipe off the dust. If you douse it in isopropyl alcohol or spray the crap out of it with inox or something then you will need to regrease the slide bits but just a little. Operate the shifter a few times to spread the grease inside then wipe off any excess grease on the outside where nothing moves then leave it alone.

Building up your skills nicely. This is a good list to work towards too. None of them are too hard - just take your time.

High end Shimano cables are pre-greased with silicone grease, I don't put anything on them, but if I was to I would use PTFE or some form of dry lube on the normal cables.

The split cables that ran down the rear seat stays used to be problematic, as all the grime would end up running into the outer cable from the tyre flicking it there in the wet and the grease would tend to trap it there. I don't think you'd have a lot of problems with the new generation stuff.

Good write up Hambo.
Have you played around with the tuning of your current fork at all? ie: Tried playing with speeding up or slowing down the rebound damping, different air pressures, volume reducers, etc? It's amazing how much you can change the feel of a fork with some quick adjustments.

For the very short time I was upright on the bike the fork setup felt good, just a bit of flex and bounce in the more lumpy stuff compared to the burly higher end forks I've ridden and loved the last few years, as expected. I did some pretty good runs on an old 2012 model back in 2014, could definitely have a worse fork so take your time.
