looking for some 15wt oil for my RS reba forks, any recommendations? The SRAM stuff is around £15 a bottle!

Cheers

Go to a motorcycle shop
Avoid anything that claims to have things like 'seal swell' in it

I bought 2 ltr of motorbike fork oil for £16 a 10w and 20w 50/50 mix of each gives you 15w (they did not stock 15w)

400ml from my lbs cost £16

for the same stuff

if you live near taunton I will give you some

Apparently - Rockshox [bizarrely] re-brands Torco RFF 20 as RS15

Either fork oil from a motorbike shop or the stuff from CRC in the grey bottle with green lid is quite reasonably priced.
