i'm far from being an expert on this subject but here is my 2ps worth.

being a fatty or a skinny has not much to do with it. cartridge forks are a completely different beats to conventional. to thick an oil in cartridge forks will slow the reaction times down which is bad as this will result in loss of traction. the oil ways are a lot smaller than conventional so to heavy an oil will not allow oil to flow freely and let the shims do their job properly. conventional forks have larger oil ways and no adjustment so to fine tune conventional you use thicker oils or a blend till you get the correct viscosity that gives you a good dampening effect. both are dependent on having the correct spring for the rider in the first place. dampening is to control the spring and nothing more, to hard (slow reaction time) and you loose traction to soft (fast reaction time) and the same.

but its late and i like to talk shizzz..

Makes sense to me Bib. :)

I've pretty much decided that, at a tenner a bottle plus my own free labour, I can afford to do some experimenting.
