Anyone out there know if I can use motorbike fork oil in my rock shocks (assuming the oil weight is correct)? Or do I have to use 'mountain bike' fork oil?

as long as it does not have seal swellers in it you should be fine."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

seal swellers? What are they?0

chemicals that cause the seals to swell."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

it's on the bottle perhaps?
Is it a certain chemical?
Or should I have got a bucket BEFORE opening the forks up??

motorex is good as well. re the swellers it will say."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
