Redrum or equivalent and 15w fork oil.

Can't find Redrum anywhere and rockshox oil is very expensive.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

So 15w oil is all the same? Ahhhh, well that does make sense. Cheers DB

Now, just need some thicker stuff for the seals.

EDIT: Cheers Eski, don't even need to get out of my chair, sooo lazy.

Suspension oils vary hugely in viscosity. There's an online chart (Peter Vedone?) which lists them all. Any motorcycle fork oil near to the viscosity you're looking for will be fine, IMHO. Bicycle fork oil is very overpriced.

when we had the Freeborn shop at Esher we did lots of suspension servicing specifically fork "lowers" servicing and we found a great UK company "Rock Oil" who actually 'rebadge' their product for many other "brands" sold in the UK

about £5 for 1 litre of suspension oil or DOT fluid, if I remember correctly!
