However, you'll have to take everything apart to install the monotubes, so you may as well replace the seals while you've got them apart.

Brake Dive
I've found my sweet spot for preload. I had to go back to the supplied spacer. It turned out my fork brace was causing some pretty bad stiction. It didn't affect my previous set up with springs, but the monotubes wouldn't return to "neutral" while on rough road or hard braking.
Speaking of braking, has anyone noticed pretty severe brake dive with these? I had none before with my Ricor set up, so I'm not sure what is considered normal.

Been following this topic as I'm looking to upgrade at some point. Is it 300cc or 3cc Squid? (3ml = 3cc, not 300cc). Thx!

Just follow the instructions that come with them. Only 5oz per leg for mine, but different models may have differing amounts. 300cc is 10oz...so he must be referring to 10 oz total for both.

Hmmm, mine is really bad, like bad enough to nearly bottom the forks. I have my sag set using the 1/3 Ohlin/Racetec method. Maybe that doesn't work with these. I'll try adding some more preload and test it.
