Fork Oil
 

I was looking to buy some 7.5w fork oil and couldn't get any at my local shop. The owner suggested buying a 10 and a 5w and adding them together. Surely this is a bonkers idea? Wouldn't the oils separate due the difference in viscosity?

Does full fat milk and semi skimmed milk separate if mixed together?? :p

+ 1 :D

You'l be fine Simon.

It's the usual way of doing it.

Didnt harm mine

Well learnings taken place today. Cheers lads.

Remember to add a teaspoonful of black treacle and 15g of self raising flour to each fork leg.

I've got the formula!!

7.5a=(10a+5a) / 2

I was quite surprised to find a manufacturer advising that this can be done as well but cant find the page now...

Anyways - I've happily used PJ1 7.5W in the past, reasonable source here:
