Hi Guys

Picked up a set of Marzocchi 55 ATAs a few weeks back and have now done a good 15 hours riding with them fitted to get them bedded in.
I have noticed a slight knocking from them, feels like top out but its not. Thought it might be somehting to do with the bushings.

Has anyone heard of problems related to the new 55 ATA's? Most of the mag reviews have commented on a few teething problems with these forks but have never said what issues they suffer from.
cheers

Grant

    Ooh dear - this month's MBR has a review of Kona's new Magic Link CoilAir - that has 55s and they said that all the test samples suffered from rattly bushings and bad stiction. They've also said this about a pair of ATAs which they tested a few months ago.

    Don't want to be a gloomy puss, but it seems that Marzocchi's quality control has gone South a bit since they started having the forks assembled in Taiwan...

    yeah I've got a spot of stiction as well.
    Going to phone Stendec and see what Dave has to say.
