I would love to hear about the different oils that are used in the suspension, how they differ in purpose and also maybe hear about how you either develop them or how you choose them from a developer.

I have a super deluxe and it also has an IFP. I find it impossible to feel confident I pressurized the IFP with the correct PSI. Taking off the adapter/shock pump it always feels like tons of PSI comes out. regardless of how fast I remove the adapter.

use a 2.5mm drill bit, drill the hole out in the red adapter. measure the length of adapter. use a piece of an old 2mm drill bit or similar diameter, cut that piece a bit shorter than the red adapter. put the cut piece in the adapter. use as normal, but when you disconnect, make sure you take the shock pump off the adaptor 1st. cheap zero loss chuck for the RS ifp charge. loses nothing when disconnected.
