RE: [ST] re: RaceTech oil weight



Jim,

  I thought the exact same, but I have seen it done by suspension people on
the track, as well as when I talked to my local race shop.  Now that I am
happy with the mix I MIGHT mix them, but probably not.

Do you think it's a good idea to put different weights of oil in the forks
instead of mixing the oils? It seems to me that then one fork - the one with
the heavier weight oil - is doing most or all of your damping. I think I'd
mix
the 10w and 15w together and fill both forks with it, but I'm no suspension
expert...
