2005 Marzocchi 66 - Axle help.

bobmij7

Hi,

I've just got some Marzocchi 66VFs. But I got them off ebay (They are brand new!!)

I did not however recieve the 20mm through axel. I have one from my dirt jumper 2s but it doesnt seem to be very long. I have fitted it but i was wondering if it was safe as it seems a little too short for the width of the 66s.

Thanks for looking,

James

(I posted this exact same thread in the freeride section, but I don't think that it was the right place so I'm posting here.)

i wouldnt reccomend riding it like that as the pinch bolts on one side may not have anything to grab onto, which will cause stress in the forks, possibly causing the area around the pinch bolts to crack...

you should be able to get a replacement axle from chain reaction

2 of mt Marz 20mm axels have a difference of 1/2" in length.

get the right one for the fork.
