More Marzo questions, which 7.5 oil?

[LeeDevelopment]

Hello again,

About to put the Z2s back together, can anyone give me the heads up with which 7.5 oil to use please? Thank you.

I used 7.5w rock oil and it was perfect for the Bombers. you could drop to 5w if you're VERY light (under 10st) or 10w if you're... cuddly...

Cheap too.

Re:

Thank you.... I'm an utter lard arse so now think 10wt may be better!

I know marzocchi recommend 7.5w, but seem to recall that they mentioned different weights for heavier riders. Rockoil is cheap enough that you can try things out though.

Also, if you find that you blow through the travel too easily, a little more oil increases the ramp-up.
