Default Maxton Springs Ordered.

Finally ordered the springs for my bike from Maxton. Just need to know how to fit them on my shiny repainted bike One other question before work starts, what oil spec should i buy for my 18 stone (with all my clobber on).

Cheers, Electro.

Did you actually have any oil in your forks for the AR10? I seem to remember your front end resembled a couple of pogo sticks when YC was bouncing up and down on it.

Dont actually think there are springs in there either Scoobs, maybe a bit of air that compresses a little before the forks bottom out lol
