Ive been dealing with squeaky front wheel seals for 20 thousand miles now, Ive replaced them, used a bit of grease on them, tried several spray lubes but it always comes back! I bought some dry graphite lube but have not used it yet.. Cold weather riding seems to make it very loud.

and just how are you going to grease up them bearings? They are "lubed for life" in the sealed configuration they come from the factory.

Found the permenant fix! I had tried grease, wd40 (wd made the squeak louder after a few hundred miles), new seals, bearings ect. None lasted long before the noise came back. This time I removed the spacers and inspected them, I found that the seal had polished two groves in each spacer, I sanded them with 1500 grit paper to scuff up the glossed over surface to make it look like it did new. Its worked now for a 1000 miles and im very happy!
