Just fitted a Marzocchi All Mountain 4 to my mates bike. He bought them secondhand and has no manual. I've been on the Marzocchi site and worked out, as he thought, they are a 2007 fork, air in each leg. What seems to be on the lower of the Right leg is a rebound damper. The M'cchi site suggests 0 to 15 psi in the l/h leg and 42 to 52 in the r/h.
As the fork stands as it's been sent to him it has 10 psi in each side and oddly, although it may "bottom out" a bit easily it seems almost as it shoud when set up, sag and all. I've tried setting it as instructions off the pdf, yet it then becomes almost rigid. Am I doing something very wrong or, have M'cchi got their lefts n rights muddled, or am I just an idiot ? Does anyone on here know anything about setting them up please ?
Have you got your lefts and rights mixed up. From what I remember Its "as you look at the fork from the front" that they define left and right, ie: left is non braked side,right is braked??
That was what I wondered originally, I went back and checked through the pdf twice and they show the definition as from the rider's p.o.v.
Then seem to contradict themselves, where the table shows which side does what.
B.T.W. Main reason for asking is that I don't want to over pressurise the wrong leg more than I might, in the process of experimenting as 52 psi is obviously a lot more than the 15psi for the opposite leg whichever that is.
Marzocchi Psi for my AMSL is massively too high, though I can't find my bit of paper with more info...
Does the manual state there's a minimum pressure? If not, don't worry.
I've found 'zocchi manuals to be somewhat iffy when it comes to detailing, well, anything really.
phone windwave?, they're quite helpful with this stuff normally
Right and left sides are generally from the rider's perspective.
Thanks Scaredypants, I'll give 'em a go !
Mamdirt: That's my usual train of thought, but believe me, I'm baffled now !
Any update on this cakefacesmallblock?
I've just acquired some Marzocchi All Mountain 3's and would be interested as to what pressures you are using.
