usually about 100-120ml per leg but don't quote me

 

You got quoted..... :bird: imp: ... I'm really bored lol.

 

ha double quoted. same here

 

Fuck. Lolz. I read it properly earlier as well and then when I went to post back I wrote the actual price ahahha! :wtf: :wtf:

imp:

 

ye i dint know how much so i just put 75 in it and it feels better than before so i mite just put a bit more in then

 

put another 35ml in then see what it's like.

 

one hydraulic lock later and bang go the seals... the art of just whacking some more in :w00t:

 

forever the pessimist, i dont even think melodies take as little as 75ml

 

well i dint know lol
first time iv ever taken forks in bits

 

thats ok, i wouldnt have a clue, did sr ones the other day and they took 120ml
supposed to be about 105ml
bit more gives more preload, i think

 

Nope, preload is why I added my ten pence worth to each fork leg, more oil increases the dampening effect...

 

pedantic fucker, it gives the same effects because it reduces the ammount of compressable space in the forks.
