Re:Fork oil weights 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago

I changed the fork oil last winter following the link Goodygood posted. It was not bad except for getting those two caps back on while compressing the springs! I ended up standing on a ladder over the bike with a cordless drill with a 3/8" drive socket attached to it and let it turn SLOWLY while pressing down. I just knew I was going to cross thread them but I lucked out and didn't! I mixed 5 and 10 wt fork oil 50/50.
