Oil weight with tapered piston

[DaveG28]

For those who've tried tapered pistons...do you generally change the oil weight you use in the shocks when you change to them?? Thicker or thinner if so?

matty went up 5wt on the rear front didnt seem to matter much,

Simlar to what I found too - increased 7.5 - 5wt

i changed nothing mate, just found them better over small,sharp bumps

Also depends if hole size etc changes etc.

Ghea Schumacher piston holes are bigger I reckon.

I'm pretty sure they are the same, or at least feel the same in a shock, to me anyway.

When I went to tapered piston's I stuck with the same oil, although it might be worth going up 2.5 as they do feel a tad 'softer'.
