I ask because I’ll be going to the Alps next summer, and possibly doing the mega again. I already have, fitted to the bike, a set of Fox Float RL with 15mm bolt through axle but I also have a set of Marzocchi 55 Micro Ti taken off my Patriot.
These are brilliant forks (marz’ are definitely back up to quality), but seem a bit big for an all-round trail fork.
So, should I keep the 55’s or are the Floats up to a week or two’s hammering. I’ve only ever used big hitting forks in the Alps (66’s, 36’s, 888’s & totems), so don’t know how the floats will cope. I’m fairly heavy at 15 stone kitted up, but also fairly smooth (ex-bmxer), so don’t tend to use the forks as a skill compensator.
