If memory serves I went with 290ml of 15w Fork oil. It's decent but I know my preload is wrong I just haven't taken the time to adjust it yet.

Ok, good to know. I don't know why I was thinking the stock eye to eye length was 295mm, I may have seen where someone swapped one in to lower the seat height, I dunno, lol.

Well I'm not going to pull the trigger just yet...I've got a bit of time anyway but I think it's worth trying. A quick look reveals a bunch on ebay for just over the $100 mark.

That certainly is budget friendly, I'd be ok going up to twice that but for $20, I'd replace this every year if needed. Hmm maybe I'll give it a go. Thanks!
