All.
I'm in the middle of a shock rebuild and need some advice.  I been reading the posts regarding this topic but I'm unsure of what "weight" of oil to use in the shock.  Can someone tell me what I should use and why.  I assume the thicker the oil the slower the shock will work???

Paul:
Stock is "light" or O1 weight. I run medium on the MX track and light in the open desert

kawdude:
So the difference would light for less rough terrain and heavy for rougher terrain?

Paul:
Depends on how much air you're going for ;)

kawdude:
Paul, I appreciate your help but I'm a novice at this.  Can you elaborate on this?
