Ok guys,
Just took apart my bike and basically disasembled every part you could think of. Everything went to plan but as I put my shock back on (Fox DHX 5.0 on a 07 Santa Cruz V10) some kind of pinky/red oil came out of the main body. It came out of the black cap thing that slides into the shaft. There was probably only 20-25 drops or so but it's made a huge difference.
So....what I need to know is what kind of oil it is? Normal oil isn't pink is it? Or is it just dye? So if it's a special type of oil and what weight. I've found out that 07 DHX 5.0's came with 10wt oil but has anyone tried anything different that works better for them? I'm only 55kg and I'm running a 350lbs spring but they are suppose to run a lot of sag so does anyone have any suggestions as to what oil I should use?
Thanks,
Nick
