Marzochhi Bomber 55's possible faults?

MountainMonster

Hey all!

Just wondering if anyone knew of any faults with 2010 Marzocchi Bomber 55's TST2 versions?

I've had them out for a few rides, and I don't know why but it just seems like they arn't extending properly anymore and i've lost most of the travel. When I have them fully extrended it doesn't look as long as a 160mm should be.

Anyone know of any problems with these forks?

A quality control problem with Marz since they outsourced production to Suntour, nope not heard a since problem, suntour make excellent forks.

I don't know specifically about 2010 ones, but it sounds like the same problem that's plagued Marzocchi TST forks since their inception.
It's the reason I have a pair gathering dust in the garage. They came back fixed, then by the next day, without even being ridden, they're "shrunk" again.

Ah ok, I thought it seemed like they had shrunk, but just wasn't certain. I'll probably take them down to the shop, and speak to my mate there about maybe getting them fixed then selling them on or something and buying some foxes.

Thanks for the update dude!

Also, forgot to ask, do you know why they are shrinking? I just got back from the shop, and i'm hoping they can get everything sorted. I may have to start saving for some new Fox forks, as that would fix the problem permanantly
