I've had a look through the FAQ's and cant find this. I haven't got a manual for my forks and my work computer wont let me open the manual from the Marz website. :cry:

Can someone just confirm the correct procedure for setting the ETA on Marzocchi forks?
I assume they're all the same, my forks are 2006 AM1's. :wink:

    Oh! I was under the impression you had to de-pressureise the fork to adjust it?! :roll: (maybe that's where I've been going wrong... :wink: )

    nope if you want to use it turn it on and the fork will have 30mm of travel

    on movements greater than 30mm it will reduce the travel. but still move 30mm.

    if you want a really short fork compress it right down to 30mm and it will move in the 30mm range. (climbing use only) turn off and the fork pops back to full travel.

    well the TAS is just like the ETA except that on the bottom of the fork you can adjust the total fork length and travel by 20mm

    are you sure you did not mean TST?

    Yeah, the TAS is what I meant! Although my fork does have TST.
    I was told by the guy that I bought the forks from that I had to release the pressure in the positive (only) chamber before adjusting the TAS.
    I've never actually adjusted it (in 3 years!) but I want to now, thats why I thought I'd ask you guys the proper way to do it first! :wink:
