Going to perform a lower service on my 2016 Pike, so looking to purchase a 120ml bottle of 0-30 oil (I only need 20ml) but it would appear to be impossible to source.

Well that’s not true, can easily source 1 litre at £25, but that’s 50 oil changes worth, so a little over kill 🙂

TFTuned have it but it’s nearly a tenner for 120ml!!!

Bloody hell!

**EDIT No they don’t, my mistake.**

Just use some car engine oil of a similar weight. It’s only there to provide a bit of lube, it doesn’t do any damping work so it’s not too critical. I’ve used some 5-40w in the bottom of my Pikes with no issues…

Good shout on tftuned though, they do this http://www.tftuned.com/tf-tuned-lower-lube-kit/p554

Any bike shop with a Zyro/fisher acccount

£20 for 1L…. but still a touch more than you need 🙂 As above just use some fully sythetic engine oil. Weight is fairly unimportant.

I always get fork oil from motorcycle shops. Much cheaper, you get the choice of weights and you know it won’t cause the seals any problems.

I was in the same boat as you. In the end I got 1L of motocross racing fork oil as it was only a few pounds more than a 120ml of the Rockshock stuff. I just went for 2.5wt – will make naff all difference compared to 0w as you need so little of it anyway.

Amazon

got mine from bike-discount

I use that, £8.60 a bottle for a litre.

What you put in the damper is different than what you put in the lowers, but TBH at only £13 for a L of the actual 3W oil you’d probably not skimp surely? £7/8/900 worth of fork but you’d not pay £13 for the right damper oil 😉

Drop me a message to my email in profile, I’m sure I’ve got a couple of 120ml bottles at home left over from a job lot I sold a while ago.

^ Thanks, I’ve dropped you a mail.
