Thermophage Posted November 8, 2021 Share 11 minutes ago, droo said: Good info, cheers. I didn't think Ohlins would have made a bad call, but not being a tribologist and not knowing any that aren't affiliated to a brand they're selling makes it hard to get an unbiased opinion. The stability would probably explain the 50 hour oil change intervals on Ohlins forks then, which means that 5W30 would be better for the average bike owner who pushes their service intervals to 200+ hours... 200h...oh **** I was out by an order of magnitude...

DieselnDust Posted November 9, 2021 Share 8 minutes ago, Headshot said: It is a high heat situation Viscosity selection depends on the clearances involved. Heat can be a factor too. Generally self lubricating bushes prefer slow speed long strokes. High speed short stroke applications generally require a bit more additive Me rida my bicycle and Mars1967 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High speed short stroke applications generally require a bit more additive So a short stroke runs faster using a shorter piston .... less torque more high speed?

Steady Spin Posted July 12, 2022 Share Talk about moving the goal posts. In the past I used the 0W-30 Rockshox oil on my 2020 Pike Ultimate and going through the manual now I see they list Maxima PLUSH Dynamic Suspension Lube Light as the oil to use. What is the difference and will I be killing anything sticking to the 0W-30 oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
