Front Fork Springs And Oil Help
 

Hi all can I have everyones advice on my front forks. I would like to change the springs and oil (along with the seals)

I weigh 10stone without riding gear. From what I have read I think 0.85 springs and 10w or 15w oil would be about right. Does this sound correct?

If so where is the best place to buy springs?

Thanks

Re: Front Fork Springs And Oil Help
 

I think it partly depends on what springs you use - i.e Hagon recommend that you stick to 10w, while others vary.

Hagon, Racetech, Maxton as the ones I know of - google for places to buy.

Thanks so do you think the spring rate of 0.85 is about right?

Re: Front Fork Springs And Oil Help
 

Go lighter than that, 0.8s.

Im around the 10 st mark an using hagon .85 progressive springs with 10w oil and works well for me.

Re: Front Fork Springs And Oil Help
 

hagon .85 progressives? Well which are they, .85 or progressive?

Re: Front Fork Springs And Oil Help
 

One in each fork

Re: Front Fork Springs And Oil Help
 

Haha, ok confusing myself. Progressive. Was going to get .85 but then got progressive.

For info, hagons only come in one rate.
