Fork Oil Level Effect at Summer Mannix blog

Fork Oil Level Effect. To make the forks stiffer you can up the oil weight (15 or 20), however any increase in oil weight and preload (with the adjustable caps or the pvc spacer mod) will effect how it handles. Typically the oil level is measured with springs out, forks fully compressed. Check if yours is closed. Air in the forks gets compressed by an upstroke. It can help with bottoming. The oil level affects the air chamber left in the fork. The shock is forcing the oil through small holes, the viscosity of the oil determines how fast the shock can travel. This can make the fork feel more harsh medium. Tech forks has a end stroke valve acting on last 50mm of travel. The modern front fork of cartridge type is very sensitive for oil level changes, because of the small air volume, air inside the front fork. By raising the fork oil level (more oil), the fork will seem to get stiffer, earlier in the stroke. Fork oil changes should be done regularly, as old oil can become contaminated and cause wear and tear on the suspension system. Too thick and you have. More oil and less air will effectively increase the spring rate, especially when deep in.
