Want to relive the 26" glory days 😎 Marzocchi Micro Ti 44 forks need new Wiper / Oil seals which seem impossible to find 😢 I've tried Mark in the States and a place in Berlin, waiting for replies but don't hold out much hope 🙄 Anybody got any ideas or got anything to sell? Straight steerer QR

Take the old seal into a branch of Erik's - they've sourced some supposedly obsolete ones for me.

Don't pretty much all marzocchi forks use the same wiper seals? As long as it's the right diameter. What are they, 32mm?

I’ve retired mine to the garage rafters, wasn’t used for last 3 years due to fat bike use, been replaced by a gravel bike now. Sad times, who said Ti was a bike for life!

You'd bin the bike rather than give them a try ?

So you can post here but you can't use Google?

They're splattered all over the internet.

+1 I thought all seals were simply re-purposed commercial seals and are readily available so long as you can find the specs.

Science Officer yes I can use Google, your link is for Fox and RS not Marzocchi 🙄 Getting some good leads all by myself now thanks 😜

Ok now I'm worried

So do windwave not carry everything we need anymore?

Are my 28mm Z2s unseviceable?

I've got some old 26 marazocchis that you can have for the price of postage.

A pair of all mountains that have a leak as the stanchions are gouged and or some all Mountain 1's that have had the internals swapped out.

Seals are fine in both.

They are heading for the big bin in the sky soon so anyone is welcome to them for postage or free if picking them up in Nottingham 🙂

Windwave don't distribute Marzocchi anymore but they are clearing out all their old spares on their eBay shop

If they don't have what you want listed then message and ask as the stock on eBay rotates all the time

Thanks for the replies and tall Martin I may need to take you up on that but fingers crossed I may have sourced some genuine Marz Oil and Wiper seals, first I've got to get them apart to make sure the internals are OK.

Stick some rigid forks on it & some super light weight components & re-live the nineties dream, I can even lend you a drill if you like 🙂

Had the same problem few years back with getting some forks so ended up selling the Rockshox forks on here and got some ridged forks no hassle then my Hummer is a 2009 great bike at the time but geometry has moved on a lot I think so just use it has a winter gravel bike least the frame does not get touched by salty roads that's one good thing.
