My Hyperpro progressive springs have arrived. Would welcome forum members views on a couple of things.
1. The springs come supplied with SAE10W fork oil as the recommended grade. Personally, I'm inclined to stick with the 5W grade or maybe split the difference with 7.5W. Does anyone have any experience of different oil grades with these particular springs?
2. The recommended oil gap according to the instructions is 170mm. This is quite a bit different to the stock setting of 140mm. Again, does anyone have any recommendations about this - should I go with the Hyperpro recommended gap, the standard gap or something in between?
3. The instructions suggest that the springs should be installed with the shorter/tighter pitch coils at the top. The standard springs have the shorter/tighter coils at the bottom. I'm inclined to think that it doesn't really matter which way round they go as long as both forks are the same. Any views/opinions on this?
Any advice or comments very much appreciated.
