15w oil in front end

[Slaninar]

WTF IS HAPPENING
all i asked was about some oil weight in forks then it turned into changing springs which is fair and on subject
then it turned into the whole philosophical argument of the meaning of opinion
and then its turns into gearing systems for the lycra brigade


- FUCK IT im putting 15w in tommorow and will let you know if its a bit too harsh
might even put the 14t sprocket on and go be a hooligan down my country roads

From my "experiments":

15w oil, all else being left equal will result in the forks resisting to go down a bit more, but also coming back up a bit slower. Hard braking followed by lots of smaller bumps will be a bad experience with that setup, forks will not go back from bottoming out quickly enough.

Adding more spring preload, without replacing the springs, will fix that to a point, but then you get a lot less sag when the bike is going at constant speed, which results, gain, in that lots of smaller bumps will cause more problems (forks will practically be bottomed "downwards" - no room to move away from the bike).

For the track, it's generally better than stock, for the street - only if you are on the heavier side.
