7.5w is my recommendation if your going to mix it with some 20w to get the rebound set correctly but thats for people who want it 'spot on'. given the amount of forks i have done the 10w is pretty near the ball park for most folks. its rebound you need to concentrate on rather than compression. without welding up the rebound bleed holes on the dampers you need to go up to 15-20w which completely messes with the compression and turns the forks like steel rods instead of suspension.

why weld the rebound bleed holes.. due to the SV check valves leaking like a sieve.
