Hi guy's, I received my 08 marzocchi xc 600 tst2 forks this morning and have been having some trouble with set-up. I weight a tiny bit under 11 stone and stuck to the marzocchi guideline of 35-40 psi positive air pressure. This seems far to soft, so i put 50psi in which seems far better. i ride quite aggressive xc/singletrack so like the forks to be firmer. Should i be sticking to marzocchi guidelines or is fork set up very much personal preference and riding style? What pressures do you guys recommend?

cheers-Hugh

    add air to set the sag to what you want and use.
