Any Dune owners using a 170mm fork? Particularly a Marz 55?

How's it affect the handling? Can you feel the difference from 160mm? Does the BB feel higher? Does it climb OK?

Thanks.

What's the axle to crown height difference between your current 160mm fork and the zocchi?

Is that measured? What are you running at the moment?

I can't imagine 10mm being that noticeable. You'll have to get over the nose of the saddle a tiny bit more but that's about it. It shouldn't raise the BB that much either.

Have yoyu actually measured the A to C length? How does it compare to the 36 you used to run in length?I've not had a marzocchi fork since 08, but my 160mm 55tst2 was longer than my 180mm totem!

Im sure my 55 RC3 Evos were the same legnth as the 36 Float RLCs i replaced. Worth double checking, the other thing is you could run slightly more sag to compensate.
