get the oil right for your weight and they make the front end how it should be when the bike leaves the factory

Best asking someone else but everyone swears by them. I'd only ridden on standard forks for 2 weeks before snapping them but they were quite wallowy and I can't tell if I've got a bit more dareing or if the springs are to blame for my chicken strips thinning. The bike feels really stable on corners just pot holes (ever been to sheffield??) are a bit rigid. I think my oil might be a touch heavy though.

dunno I'm somewehre around 12stone and have 15wt silkolene pro in. 10 stonesish I've heard 12.5wt hagon oil is good but I'm not the most knowledgeable pup.

Someone did a thread somewhere on different brands not labelling their oil thicknesses properly though, might be worth having a read.
