Shock Oil weight for IRC Shocks

Posted: Tue Nov 21, 2006 7:34 pm Post subject: Shock Oil weight for IRC Shocks

Im getting IRC's shocks for christmas, and Im looking for a fairly cushy ride (not interested in racing).

Would 35 weight be a good choice?

And how much will I need? I guess more than one bottle?

Hey KiZ,

I was going to get these shocks for xmas too , im getting 40wt for bashing and i thing that will be ok i guess as that is what i use in my stock shocks and people who have LST schock also use 40wt

Also , does anyone know what the spring weight is (no mumbo jumbo)just 'hard , medium or soft'

Cheers

Bri

P.S. KiZ where are you in the UK ?

Heya Bri

I'm from Aberdeen, all the way up in Scotland. (although I'm in Edinburgh right now at Uni)

Thanks for the reply :)

Hey,

ummmm.... yeh ..... Scotland ..... thats a bit far from me as im in Sheffield in the midlands lol Laughing

Oh yeh , i forgot to say that i was going to get probobly 2 bottles of oil from my LHS because people say you dont realy need that much to fill the LST shocks , but i guess it trial and error for us lol Laughing

Anyone know what thw spring rate is ?

Bri

i have 40 in mine and have them adjusted perfectly to arms level Twisted Evil

I use 50 in the rear and 30 front, really good for big air.

Yeah, where was your review, zoom? Wink

I spoke to Rob and I think I'll go with 35w. I don't bash hardcore, and don't do big jumps, so that should do me fine.

pics of the shocks are in the last post of mine in my build up(in the "projects section). I have the shocks all mounted up with a red neck set up(screws, washers spacers stand offs etc.). The mouting brackets were acidently not put into the package so thows are somewere in the mail system as we speak. They should be here by this coming monday at the latest if all goes well. Ill take a picture of my redneck set up if yall want.

running 35 wt front and 40wt rrear

How many holes does the IRC shock piston have? If it's the same as the LST's 40wt then you should be fine. But, then again I don't know to much about The IRC's

Does Anybody has picture of the Lst's shock piston?

Aren't thoes the IRC's piston?

does anyone know if you can fit the TiNi Losi LST shock rod to the IRC shocks ? i guess these would also be diffrent, but idk

Bri

Thats what I've been wondering too, Bri.
