    Karrimor boots from sports direct. got a pair for £30 and had for near 2 years and they are brill. Comfy and waterproof. Or if you can find head walking boots, had a pair for 6 year and used everyday and they where gore-tex

    why is fox so highly rated, you need to service them everyday for optimal performance. i had marzocchi mx comps from 2004, had for 5 year and never serviced – they worked perfectly. Also had rst mozo pros for 3 year, never serviced and build quality is really good (they get slagged off a lot) got a pair now which work much better than a pair of recons i had. so thats that.

    For a 32gb your looking around £70-£80. A 16gb would be around £30.

    I find my marzocchi's now are sticky and less sensitive. What to do, as i have used that sikolene 5wt oil. maybe use stendec oil or something?

    All done, spacer removed and they are 120 now 🙂

    When i took them apart, i was shocked by the build quality of the push rods and stuff. Crap stuff.

    Just get my rebound sorted now and they are a bit sticky! Not sure why.

    What sort of air pressure, i usually have 50 psi in each side for a 95kg rider. is that a bit ott

    mine are air, so i put it on top of the rebound spring

    Remove bushing (4), the rebound spring (7) and the preload tube (9) (only for models with 105mm
    travel) from the pumping element.

    swap around

    hmmmm. so take the sleeve from under the rebound spring and on-top of the rebound spring

    simonlovell999

    So, where the preload sleeve is under the rebound spring. swap around so that the preload sleeve is on top of the rebound spring

    This is the marzocchi mx comp 2006 manual

    http://www.wheresweyland.com/images/2006_marzocchi_service_manuals/2006-mx-comp.pdf

    On page 18 there is a diagram of the right pumping element. it has a preload tube which is on 105mm models, but not on the 120mm models. this is same with the left pumping element.

    I am not sure about this, so I could be wrong. A quick answer would be loco tuning, see what they say. If somebody wants to ask…
