beste bikers,
wie kan er mij helpen?
ik heb sinds kort een marzocchi drop off triple.
heb hem afgesteld zoals ze bij marzocchi opgeven maar dan heb ik bijna geen sag en voelt hij heel stug aan. het lukt me ook niet om er iets tussen in te vinden. wie heeft er ervaring met deze vork en kan mij helpen? ik weeg ongeveer 75 kilo
alvast bedankt
afstelling Marzocchi Drop Off Triple

Maby heb je hier wat aan:
You do need one special tool, however. The bolts on the lowers require a thin wall 12mm deep socket wrench which is hard to come by outside marzocchi. (for the 12mm thinwall socket grind down a standard socket to fit )
Take off the top caps and each leg into a different cup so you can measure the original oil levels (assuming there weren't any leaks).
Take off the 12mm lower bolts (one is just a nut around the rebound knob)and pull the lowers. Pull the dust seals out and then the oil seal below it which may or may not be retained by a metal circlip. Replace (google enduro fork seals, they're fantastic).
Give the seals, pushrods, and uppers a light greasing with palin petroleum jelly (it's just for assembly, the fork is lubed by oil) and reassemble the lowers.
Pour in fresh oil +10cc through the top of the fork legs. Our suggestion is to go at least 15wt at the first go; the compression damping ciruit isn't sensitive at all. Put the air assist caps back on, pump both up to 5psi (yes, just 5) and go ride.
Tune the fork by using the left air assist knob to set sag and ride height (there's more air volume in this leg).
Put air in the right leg to counteract bottoming out completely and try to stay below 15psi or so. there is less air volume in this leg so the air spring rate will ramp up faster than the other side and make the fork overly harsh if there is too much pressure.
Sterkte!
