If they are both 2003 vintage then whichever had been looked after properly

The zocchis are ( I think) open bath so they will be reliable and very straightforward and simple. The rockshocks are much more sophisticated but as they are more complex and only have small amounts of lubrication oil ( again I think) as they are cartridge forks they are much more sensitive to servicing.

If the zocchiis have no signs of wear then they should be good. However its a bit apples and oranges to compare

I am guessing that the 85-130mm is referring to removing internal spacers etc. not U-Turn?

Thanks,

I am currently riding the Marz 03 on a 2006 marin wolf ridge, i saw a decent offer on the rock shox for 100 but wondered which would better suit, i do a fair bit of trail riding

I would get a second hand set or pikes or revs for £160 or something. Be alot better.
