adjustment on marzocchi forks

cranaz

hi, i have a pair of bomber exr 03's on my bike at min. i would like to stiffen them up a little but not sure how to,i have removed the plastic covers on the top of each leg to find a small valve, but have no idea what to do with them. any help would be appreciated, cheers

You'll need a shock pump.

If you have a search on the net, you might be able to find the air pressures for it.

I'm not sure if the Marzocchi website goes back to 2003.

I have a funny feeling the valve on old Marzocchis isn't a standard Schrader.

Air pressure will be whatebver you need for the correct amount of sag though, so you just need a pump.

thanks for the replies, seems nice and straight forward, and the pumps are cheap on ebay. if the forks arent standard schrader will the modern pumps work though?

You should be able to check, just see if your normal tyre pump fits.

cheers mate, will get a flexi pump adaptor tomorrow and give it a try, have had another look and they do look like standard size valves so fingers crossed. apologies for stupid questions aswell

I am probably wrong about the valves, just remember some older ones were different sizes, might be Manitou.
AS I only have 3 brain cells left, the memory is a bit vague at time.
