Hi Rich,
I put Castrol GTX 20W50 in the forks. No leaks as of yet. Dampening seems to
be fine.
As for the o rings. I'm sure you could match up an old one to something that
is local. If you aren't in a rush I would call up Eish or MG Cycle and get a
set. That would support the family and you would also be sure that you would
get the right ones. And while you have Gordon or Rick on the line...order a
few more bits and pieces:-)
Regards...Ian
| OLC (Obligatory Loopframe Content) Went to change the Ambo's fork oil Saturday night. What a mistake. First the oil that I drained looked clean |
| if it were recently changed. Secondly the O-rings on the top fork caps fell apart upon removal dropping bits into the tubes ;-( Keep saying to self "I'm not pulling forks apart to clean, I'm not pulling forks apart to clean!" So what weight fork oil is anyone using? Was going with 15 (since all of |
| manuals I have say Shell 33 or ATF) but since I have to wait till tomorrow to pick up the new O-rings I have time to change. Anyone know if those O-rings are close to any readily available (hardware store) ones? Pretty quiet day in the neighborhood, Rich |
