i am going to upgrade my forks on my specialized bighit and i am not sure which to go for : 2008 888 rc3 the 2008 66rc3 or possibly the boxxer teams. i am told that the boxxers will need servicing regularly to get the best performance but they are really good and so i hear that the 888 and the 66 are really good but you cannot beat marzocchi for reliability...? just wanted to know which you guys would go for....

thanks

    the bike is 2007.
    the current forks are Z1 but with 160mm travel.
    but i go through it quite often.

    well set the forks up correctly.

    can you adjust the bike so it is happy with 200mm of travel?

    i would not go 200mm myself i would just get the current ones setup correctly.
