Anyone have a link to a video showing how to change the oil bath on an air Pike or even a decent step by step guide? Checked the SRAM/Rockshox site and Google but can't find anything. The Rockshox owners manual has absolutely zippo

[url= http://www.sram.com/en/service/rockshox/view.php?catID=1&subcatID=5 ]try here[/url], the service guide is near the botom of the page in a PDF and there are videos on youtube!
Its really easy to do, dont bother with different weights of oil, just use 15 wt top and bottom.

15w oil for top !? Far too heavy for damping.

Thanks guys. I'll have a go as soon as I can get hold of some oil. I assume this will have to come from an LBS or t'internet rather than a garage?
