I'm putting in a MoCo cartridge in my Pikes next week but what is the best (VFM and quality) suspension oil to use? I apparently need 5wt (according to the service manual).
Thanks all.
Motorbike fork oil, its the same as the bike stuff and usually at least half the price. 🙂
what stu said. I currently use Castrol Synthetic, but only cos a local shop was closing down so it was £1 a bottle 😉
There is a caveat to avoid stuff with seal swellers listed as a component, however I've never come across any (not to say there arent any) and have used m/cycle fork oil in Marz, Manitou and RS forks for the last 10years or more with no ill effects.
Total numpty question but I take it engine oil is totally different to fork oil.
yep, and I'm talking about castrol synthetic motorcycle fork oil which (like most fork oils) you can get in a range of weights.
