WP Fork Oil Level
I changed my fork oil tonight in my WP's and according to the WP manual it mentioned to set it 25 mm below the 4 holes in the inner tube. Well, this is approximately 100 mm down from the top when the fork is fully collapsed. After reading some older posts on Talking Smack, it sounds like the common oil level is around 130 to 150 mm from the top. At this point, my forks are reassembled but not on my bike yet. Now is the time to reset the oil level if needed.
What oil level do you recommend? What is the damping effect of 100 mm vs. 140 mm? I guessing increased bottoming resistance due to smaller volume of air... Will it be too harsh?
