Hi, hope everyone is well. I've been on this forum before but not for a few years.

I recently bought a pair of 2005 66rc's from eBay, they were advertised as 170mm but I'm sceptical now they've arrived.

So I'm asking a favour to anyone out there who has the same forks, could you please measure the stanchion length (i.e. bottom of crown to top of seal). Mine come out at 175mm which I think is quite small for a fork with 170mm travel.

Thanks a lot

Joe

    Typically Marz stansion lengths are the travel plus a very little.

    What length are yours?

    Sounds like they are in 170 mode then.

    If they were 150 it is just a strip and move a spacer in each leg.
