Hi Will...

I have 15wt in mine, and we weigh roughly the same. My forks are plenty hard enough - anything harder, and the ride will be rediculous! Especially around London. Remember - it's a harder spring anyway, and the SV's standard oil is only 10wt.

The air-gap is also important. Joe can recommend an airgap for you - mine was 92mm if I recall correctly. This has worked well for me.
