For what model fork are they for? the 2008 onwards only have a single spring, earlier versions have 2.

I eleive the earlier models have less travel and small diameter stanchions?

You're correct that the pre-'08 springs are not compatible.

You can order one for yours from Windwave (Marz' UK dist.), but it'll have to be through your local shop. I paid just under £30 for mine.

The soft spring from a RockShox Domain 316 is physically the correct size, but you have to modify one of the plastic mounts that the spring sits on inside the fork. The Domain spring is also without the powdercoat finish, so it clatters around inside the fork and can be quite irritating. Bear this in mind if somebody offers the Domain spring as an alternative.

If you try the Domain, you'll need to modify the plastic spring mounts...

The underside is almost like the topside, but you'll see whan you get it out that the 'top-hat' part of it is much wider. The smaller side fits into the top-cap on one end and the supension cartridge at the other; the larger side fits into the end of the spring.

The Domain spring is tapered at each end and the larger side of the Marzocchi mounts will not fit. The top mount can be flipped no problem as the large side still fits into the top-cap of the fork; however, the larger side of the mount will not fit into the fork cartridge. You will have to file it down to get it to fit.

Let me know if you decide to go down that route. I have a used-once Domain spring that I'd be willing to sell.

Here's the dimensions of the Domain spring I have. It was purchased from TFTuned Shox. The overall length is 320mm; the OD is 30.08; and the ID of the tapered ends is 17.70mm. If you want it, it's yours for £15 plus whatever it costs to ship it to Italy (correct?) by recorded delivery; probably around £5.

I am reliably informed by inside sources that TF Tuned have the spring you require in stock (well, she is 98% certain).

HTH,
