Fork Oil of a bankholiday?

Skill Magill · 06-05-2013 8:43am #1

Was going to do my seals today, but forgot to get the oil. Anywhere open today that might do it? In typical enough fashion, went into town for the seals, got them, forgot the oil. No matter, sure I'll get the oil when I'm up at the japanese vintage show, still forgot to get it, Sake :cool:

Use cooking oil until a bike shop opens :pac:

Thats what was used back before Fork oil became widely available.
Its actually specced for my bike in the service manual, from 1988.
Its about 10w and is good for seals as well.
