Hey up

Might be a bit of a daft question, but I cant find the info on the net (googlefail)

Need to replace the motion control assembly in a revelation, so need to replace the oil…

…whats the best stuff to use?

In past experience, there was always the official fork oil, and then identical motorbike oil for about a 10th of the price 🙂

Cheers

AIUI, motorbike oil has additives to help the seals expand – which is fine ona motorbike with all that weight and power, but can cause stiction problems on an MTB. YMMV

motorbike oil has additives to help the seals expand

most don't – those that do are usually marked as containing something like 'seal swell'

Rockshox re-brand Torco RFF as their own but bizarrely change the numbers e.g. Rockshox RS15 is in fact Torco RFF 20

Ah ok cheers

So according to that I need 5wgt and 15wgt

I'll nip to halfords then, and avoid anything that mentions seal swelling 🙂

Cheers!

Use Silkolene Pro RSF 2.5wt and 5wt

Suspension fluid explained (excellent resource).

Mix chart

So you'll need to mix 2.5wt / 5wt in a 82% / 18% ratio to get the required viscosity.

Cheers.

Go to a motorbike shop for Silkolene.

Don't think you'll find Torco here in the UK.

Torco is reasonably easy to get here but yes, Silkolene or similar will be a lot easier to find from 'bricks & mortar' shops

for what it's worth when I was looking for 15wt for my revelations, Crazy legs offered to pick it up from the motorbike shop round the corner from his house. They were charging £15 per litre. I paid £8 yesterday in my LBS.
