For whom the bell tolls
My fork seals need replacing asap, and thought I'd treat myself to some Ohlins fork oil - but at $70 for a 1L bottle I'm convinced it's been extracted from the frozen hulk of a Woolly Mammoth and while I know the price is justifiable, as a poor student I can't really afford it right now.
Can anyone suggest a good quality alternative?

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

WTF?!? (Whatever the fook WTF?!? means). I was charged only $51-ish dollars by CKT - obviously a bargain then. BTW (whatever that means) - it's not woolly mammmoth oil - it's BabyLesbianAfghaniFurSealPenguinWhale oil. Not quite as rare, but because it's on the WWF (WTF?!? another ferkin acronym!) protected species list, it's more expensive and exclusive. Very slippery too.Originally Posted by R6_kid

Or summat.
Or maybe not...

Trainer wheels optional
I bought BelRay for 30 bucks, better than the catweazle piss that was original.

Not if you need 10W.

Only utilise Mobil 1 15W-50. Very good. Make drive good. Me use long time past.

This is for forks, not for the motor. Robert Taylor is NZ's resident Ohlins expert so it's fairly safe to say he knows what he is talking about.

Double shot!!
$70 is probably the cheapest hot-up there is. Just buy it. It's not like it's $700, and even if it was it would probably be worth it too.

"Wow, Great advise there DB."
