oil
I bought some 15w oil from an auto jumble at the weekend........i did ask for 20w/50 as per the bantam hand book recommendations but the guy i bought it from said they don't do it anymore and recommended 15w.......to be fair it was perfect for the job but my seals sprung a leak........one of the club members (somerstown) recommended this 20w/50 from ASDA so i bought some ready for the forks when my stanchions finally arrive .....£2.36p for a litre not bad considering each for leg takes 175m ........i could also use it in the gear box if i so wished

I'd be interested to see how that rides. My D7 was always very soft at the front end, so I'd thought I'd try some heavy weight fork oil to firm it up a little.
ReplyDeleteyes i thought the same but after having the 15w oil in i think that was about right....thank you for your comments regards paul
