thanks to those who encouraged me to do a 50hr service on my forks. I did it yesterday and am very pleased. Going to a shop for a fork service is incredibly expensive here; I cleaned out a ton of crap; the wiper seal had zilch grease on it and now is much much better; it was fun injecting the oil into the bottom of the legs (not sure if I did this quite right but seems good); I used lightweight motor oil per many other forums and saved ££; I got said oil in my fr disc brakes 😒; I, at the same time, installed my HUGE new front tyre to help bring the front up a smidge and get more support in rock gardens. Rockshox says 2.5 is OK. This month I also swapped out my bars (please someone buy the old ones) and converted a 2006 wtb super duty 20mm hub to run in the 15mm forks (lots of filing)
