Fork oil weight?
Was just wondering what fork oil weight is best to use, manual says 10 but I'm not sure if it had 15 in it before stripping as it was quite stiff, what do people reccomend?
Cheers

Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
