Damper O-Ring expansion
Is there any make of shock oil that does not cause the damper o-ring's to expand/bloat?

I have never had an o-ring expand from the shock oil (for me at least).
They do expand if you spray motor cleaner/degreaser on them.

All the silicone o-rings will expand a little in contact with the silicone shock oils. The softer the o-ring, the greater the expansion.
To be honest the expansion has never been an issue for me, my shocks are plenty smooth enough. For what it's worth, one of my tourers has red TOP o-rings and another has clear Tamiya o-rings, using Much-More oils.

I just replace it with a new one anyway, so the old o-ring is in the dustbin..
