Tried sifting thru the forum for the info and still not clear on some points
1) Different weight/viscousity oil for the fork/shock.
Heavier weight to prevent bottoming and more damping.
But it seems to ppl go for 5w and lighter cos "heavier" oil breaks down. So meaning, I should choose 5w or lighter oil and valve the
fork/shock accordingly? (like jetting using a fixed premix ratio?)
How does a lighter/heavier oil affect the range of clickers adjustment?
2) Fork setup
Soft spring/heavy valving vs hard spring/light valving.
Which one should I go for???? What's the diff?
Shouldn't I get the correct weight springs and valve accordingly?
3) Springs
My rear shock is using a 280mm 4.8kg spring. Going to get a spring that is 275mm 5.2kg. Will the difference in length affect the rear shock? How abt 280mm 4.8kg vs a 270mm 4.8kg spring?
Though both are rated the same but wat does the difference in length do?
Hope to get enlighten.
Thanks.
