H2C What weight fork oil to use?

Post by Nigel Thorpe »

Hi all. H2C bike. Just drained the forks and then flushed through with some of the specced 10W fork oil, but evident that the original oil was a lot heavier/thicker than the standard 10W. So after advice as to what people use nowadays. Understand that the thicker oil will increase damping, so is handling improved through the use of the thicker oil? Thank you.

Thanks Scouse. 10W going in this afternoon. I guess that will be a starting point and see how it goes.
