Default RE: Which shock Oil in the Genesis?

I completely rebuilt my Genesis shocks and used teflon tape around the main housing to prevent any leaks. The stock O-rings are less then spectacular. I used 30 weight oil and made sure to remove all air. The shocks are much better now but are still a little slow to return. I also replaced the middle sized pistons inside the shock with the ones with the largest holes. If you are still using the number 2 pistons, then I would recommend 25 or less. Make sure every last drop of air is out of the shock. They work so much better this way.
