Feature-inspired oil change

After reading your fork overhaul articles, I decided it was time to change the oil in the forks of my bike (languishing in the shed). After carefully setting up receptacles to catch the old oil I removed the drain screws.

Then I called up my go-to supplier. “Have you got fork oils?” He replied: “I’ve probably got a few dozen; but you’ll only need two for your old twin.”

You used rubber grease in the fork rebuild, there’s also silicon grease, lithium grease, copper grease and so on. Back in the day it was just HP and LP grease. A feature on which grease is used for what would be most useful to us readers.

Thanks, keep up the good work! Mark Bruce.

Thanks Mark .Next month has a great feature on petrol and after that we’ll look at grease! Matt
