mineral, semi synthetic or full synthetic?

I've been trying to work out the pros and cons relative to the cb5 and ultimately I can't find a definitive answer. Seems like the racing forums favor full synthetic. I mainly commute with a bit of weekend fun thrown - not quite racing pedigree.

anyone thoughts?

If you are going to change it as often as you should (every two years? I can't remember what the manual says) then I don't suspect it matters that much.

In theory, synthetic and semi-synthetic fork oils should have more predictable performance and retain that longer into their life.
