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. |

Re: Front Fork Springs And Oil Help
Thanks so do you think the spring rate of 0.85 is about right?
