marzocchi service?

[charlie]

hey guys,

yet another non trials related post from me, but just a quick one.

do any of you guys in canbi know how to service the marzocchi bomber suspension forks? ive got a set of the original orange z1's on my kona that (although i think they appear to work fine, could probably do with new oil or something like that as theyve never been serviced (as far as i know) in 6 years.
what stuff do i need to service them? how much would it cost, and can anyone please help me do it sometime in late january?

thanks
charlie

u just need to get your hands in a bit of fork oil

just get some fork oil, i think the stock marz forks have 7.5W fork oil in it, but i personally recommend around 10W oil. You'll just need the old spanners to pop off the caps, take the internals out and give it a good clean, and make sure you put all the parts back in the same way it came out, I have a book that shows how to do service marz forks, and im sure there are 'how-to' guides on mtb related sites i cant remember

try www.farkin.net/forums

the lbs charges around 50 for the service, if you do it yourself, it shouldnt cost you over 20 bucks for the oil.

hey guys,

bought the seal kit yesterday, but mals said to just go down to the local auto-shop and ask them for the oil. 7.5wt... but what do i actually ask for? (to make sure i get the right type of oil).

thanks
