Well ok, they're second hand. A pair of 2010 Marzocchi 55 Micro TI Air, in mint condition. Only thing is, when I turn them upside down there seems to be an awful lot of oil sloshing about inside.

Is this normal, I've never noticed it with My Sektors and Fox rls...??

No oil is coming out the seals, and as I said they appear to be virtually unused (seller said they'd been ridden twice.

No, they're a totally different design. Marzocchis are "open bath" which is why they dont need servicing for years. Dead good forks.

The Marzocchis will have around 100ml of oil sloshing around in each leg, the RS will have about 30ml and the fox will have 15ml.

Guess which need servicing most often.
