Oil Weights, for sherman.

bullit_kid · 10-18-2004, 11:45 PM

It is recommended that use of 5 weight oil be used in an oil change. That is what ive used, but this time im going to lower my fork down to 3 inches and I wish to heavily stiffen it up. Is there anyother way to stiffen the fork up then getting stiffer springs. Like will 15 weight oil stiffen it up or do i need harder springs. I have medium springs right now I believe.

usually oil weight affect rebound more than stiffness. Oil height and springs tend to change the stiffness of a fork....
