My son has a Kona Stuff with Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 2 forks. They have become very hard even with no air in. There is a small amout of movment when you put full weight on the front end. The bike is only eight weeks old. Any ideas befor I take the bike back and loose it for ages.
We're waiting for a set from a similar bike,with similar problems,to come back from the importer(they're in a queue for repair). If they come back with any info i'll let you know, i'm hoping they'll show up in the next day or two.

Blown damper cartridge.They are sealed pressurised rst units and the go pop a lot.You can convert them to open bath quite easily by drilling a couple of holes in them (I had to do 30 pairs).Windwave will supply destructions.
Cheers Rorschach,so are you saying im gonna have a load of problems with these forks. Bear in mind its a jump bike and it does get used for jumps. 🙁
Nah once they've been converted they will run forever-like wot marazochis are sposed to.Basically you drill one hole in the damper to release the pressure.Trap the ifp at the bottom by centre punching a dent just above it.Drill hole just above it and at the top of the damper.Fill with oil and hey presto reliable open bath damping.I can probably dig out the pdf instructions from work if you want.
