I changed out my fork oil this past weekend. I used a 50/50 mix of Type E (5 Wt.) and Screaming Eagle Heavy (15 Wt.). It worked very well after a 100 mile ride today. It stopped the inevitable front end dive in a panic stop while still providing a good cushioned ride on the regular roadway.

Right on. Seems to be a pretty popular way to go.
