has anyone figured this out for fork oil

Post by ratiug »

If you want your fork oil at 160 mm from the top, has anyone ever figured out what the distance would be while the fork is at an angle . Of course there would be a front and rear measurement inside the tube. I just don't know the angle of the fork when sitting level. Any geometry students out there?

Or... Measure it at both sides (highest and lowest levels), add the two numbers together, and divide it by 2. This will give the height of the middle level. Cheers!
