  1. Hi, is it possible to buy a generic versionof RockShox's RedRum Oil from a motorcycle place or
    something?

    I'm just looking to buy a bit more than what comes in the standard bottle.

    What should I ask for?

    cheers

    Just ask for fork oil in the correct "weight" (wt) or viscosity. I think RS forks use 7wt, but I'm
    not positive...

    Because RedRum wasn't available yet I was told by RS service on my '99 SID that 15wt motorcycle fork
    oil would work. And it does. (The oil that is, the fork still sucked!)

    Spectro fork oil - no seal swellers, just good, clean, hard working fork oil. 15wt, I believe. I got
    it at my local dirt moto shop, and it was definitely both cheaper and a larger container than any of
    the "bicycle fork oils". Same thing, if not better.

    Manitou suggests using "40 wt. synthetic gear oil" for the same application. I just use 40 wt. motor
    oil. This is for air chamber o-ring lubrication, not to be confused with the 5 - 15 weight fork oil
    in the damping system.
