Anyone know a shop that carries Golden Spectro or is there an alternative to that brand and weight that's ok for a marzocchi?
How about Marzocchi Canada?

"Spectro, Golden Spectro Cartridge Fork Fluid (125/150, Very Light) (Marzzochi)"

http://www.peterverdone.com/archive/...ion%20oils.pdf

Maxima Racing Fork Fluid (125/150, 7wt) looks pretty close.

I've used the motul 7w before, it's slightly lighter than the Spectro (20cSt vs 26cSt), but that's what I was going for, since I'm lighter and tend to fall between spring rates.

What kind of fork? You use different oils for an open bath fork vs. a sealed cartridge damper.

For a fox sealed damper fork (ie RC2)

BLUE Fox Float oil in the air spring, or gear oil.

GREEN Fox oil in the damper, or Silkolene RTF.

Damper, air spring, and oil bath all use different oils....

F'it. I just bough some motul 7wt and 10wt. I'll try the 10 first and go to 7 is it's too heavy.

Thanks.. It's for a Boxxer. I got 5wt. Belray Fork Oil. It's close enough to Maxima 5wt.

Can't believe I've waited this long to do my own suspension work. It's bloody easy... and it's like freakin' butter now.
