July 9, 201412 yr Wondering how much air you folks add to the TLR200 forks? I have 3 pounds in each and that seems to be about right. Just a bit of sag. Maybe .75 inches or so. Mick Andrews says this is what he likes to see in his bikes. Very supple front with a bit of sag. Comments... suggestions?
July 9, 201412 yr Hi, TLR Reflex: no air, 5W Castrol synth fork oil and All Balls Racing tripple lipped red fork seals. I love this smooth fork action. Not for crosscountry but best for classic trial. Mick liked it too... Rollox

It is more important that the bike works evenly front to rear.
