Hey dudes...

RS' web site says that you should put a 5wt in the fork but since my buddy is a bigger guy and rides more aggressive like a few of us should I be putting a weight like a 7 or 10 in it?

Any insight would be handy...

thanks!

One of my friends prefers a heavily damped feel, and loves his psylo with 12.5wt.
I'd say go for 10wt as a start... although personally I might even go as extreme as 15wt for myself.

I'm a light rider (140 #) and use 5 wt oil (Spectrum Fork oil). I get a nice plush feel and it doesn't bottom out. If you weigh around 180, look into 7.5 wt oil or 10 wt if you a slower compression... heavier wt oil= slower compression

Gotcha...thanks guys...I think we'll try 10.

there is almost no oil in the compression leg of the psylo. does it really make that much difference to change the weight? I can see it effecting the rebound because that leg is almost filled with oil. I weight 180 lbs and run extra heavy springs, and the standard 5 wt oil in my psylo and it works great for me.
