My Serow is over 20 years old. Slowly bimbling through checking everything.
Forks work and seem fine, but for a tenner its easy to replace the fork oil unless it lasts a lifetime?

What weight to choose - depandant on the rider weight, climate, stiffness required?
Type - Are all synthetic? Any brands to choose, Castrol, Rock oil, Silkolene etc?
Should it be a routine change, should it be combined with seals or not nescessary if they ok?
