we went to newport and my bike was running so smoth berings were sweet everthing was just right
i went to ride my bike tonight and the head set was a bit lose so i tightend that up and road it along the road and it was just shit the berrings were creaking ect
and my forks now fell really bad they going down in steps ie go down a bit stop down a bit more and arnt smoth just vile my bike feels so bad.
so i need a new star nut (nothing to fix)
ill get some berrings from work (still easy to fix)

Why do you need a new star nut?
Sounds like just new bearings, fresh grease and precise adjustment is needed.
Marzocchi have guides on their site (or at least did). Sounds like the fork too needs a service - and this one is pretty easy to pull apart and regrease.0 -
because my old star nut just pulled to the top of the forks with is why my headset came lose
how do i get inside of the forks because i cant seam to unscrew the plastic bit on top
how do i take them apart
cheers ricky0 -
You have to be careful taking the top caps off - find the appropriate sized socket.
Taking them aprt involves removing the bolts at the bottom of the fork.
I'll try and find you a guide.0 -
