Marzocchi 66 RV ETA fork Tuning

<em>NYSNOBDRX</em>'s picture

Hey does anyone have any tuning tips for the
Marzocchi 66 RV ETA fork? I have a '07 model and would like to get it
set-up/tuned properly. I heard you can use the RC2X cartridge for this
fork. Has anyone done this or have experience with this? What about oil
weights?

Thanks for the help.

Don't be lazy: Dial in your suspension

Yeah, I admit to being lazy when it comes to keeping my bike in tune -- specifically my suspension. Went on a ride the other afternoon and the bike (my Blur LT) felt like crap. I guess it had been a while since I tweaked the suspension settings, and it'd gotten far enough out of whack that I really noticed it.

The next morning I spent some time with the bike and properly dialed in front and rear suspension, including adding a few pounds of air to the rear shock which had gotten too low.

What a difference!

Is 5 Inches The New 4 Inch

By walker on 9/26/2007 on walker's blog

The fashion world is calling brown the new black. For fall, if you're not wearing brown, then you don't know what's going on. Could it be that Mountain Bikers also have a fashion sense; about suspension?

Forks

Hi Walker-

I have been out of the suspension game for a long time, but I miss some of those rides that are only fun with a fork. So I may be in the market for one. Here's my spec:

1. Less than $400
2. Lockout
3. Durable (i.e. does not fall apart or require warranty service after a season or two)
4. Maintainable (i.e. I can change its oil and seals myself, and that's all it takes)

Those are the things that matter to me. I don't care if the lockout is remote (prefer not, actually). I don't care how much it weighs. I don't care if it has 80 or 100mm of travel. I don't care if the travel is adjustable. I don't care what color it is. I don't care if it doesn't feel like I'm riding on a dream cloud made of whipped cream and foam rubber, as long as the fork is squishier than steel and tough as nails.
