    hi all I've treated my self to a nix 30 cartridge kit and a ttx gp shock I've got a 2011 blade I'm planning using Fuchs 7.5w oil, has anyone got this combo and do you have base settings for the road you used
    And what distance air gap did you use ?I'm sure the last time I did my forks on it I put 100mm in and 5w oil it worked well
    Cheers
    Graham

    Yes this is what I run. I do not use anything apart from Ohlins oil as it has a friction reducer which other oils do not possess.
    What weight are you and what do you use the bike for ?
    I run a 115mm Air gap in my front forks.

    Friction reducer seems a bit of a gimmick in my opinion oil its self is a friction reducer , I'm 95 kg with gear on I mainly use it for fast pace road riding and the occasional track day but this is my first experience with Ohlins I would just like other people's experience and tips with them

    It's Ohlins oil that is very hard to get specific breakdown of it, I do not know what weight it is.
    Are you running the standard 10NM front springs with the fork kit?
    Also the standard 11onm rear?

    I've given the company my weight and they are going to furnish the shock and fork springs to suit
