I bet the performance was better with the 66s though!
Never owned a bad pair of Bombers, and the 888 RC3Ti forks on my DH bike are amazing.
However, they've never been able to compete on trail bikes for me because they don't do travel adjust. Completely kills it for me as it makes such a difference as you can go a size up with RS forks without losing the climbing ability.
Dont get me wrong. I was a lifelong mazz fan. I just got tired of the odd ones that had no setup info available and also broke.

(apart from those ATA forks which were shite).A friend had what must have been the only good set of ATA forks ever made - he's never to my knowledge maintained anything, but his ATA bombers worked perfectly for years and years. Black ones, 120/150mm - they were lovely forks.
At the time I thought they'd be the ideal fork if they didn't break so often. I guess he got the only set that never did!
THe last set of Marzocchis I owned was a 2006 Z1 freeride, which I thought were great at the time as they were nice and plush and reliable. But at 150mm they were too long and flexy; From memory I lowered them to 110mm, and good as they were, the Pike 454s that replaced them were better in almost every way. That was the fork that really started the demise of marzocchi in my opinion.
Am happy to hear they are still going.
On the various bikes in the garage I have got one set of z1 bams, a set of 888 rc3 ti's, one set of 55 rc3 ti's and 2 sets of 44 rc3 ti's.
Could say I like marzocchi forks I guess

me too. i'm on my 10th set of marzocchi forks. i've been a marzocchi user since the late 90's.
never had a pair fail on me and i've never serviced any of them....they just seemed to work.
i'll admit i never invested in a pair during their rocky period 2007 onwards when they had all sorts of issues with the TST/ATA system.
current forks are a pair of 55CR which even some of my Rockshox/Fox riding friends are a bit envious of
