marzocchi crown again

[Jerry Everetts]

OK, so as it turns out, I don't have one lined up after all. I realize I
can get them from marzocchi, but the $160.00 price tag is a big hard to
swallow right now. Somebody is selling new old stock crowns from Rock
Shox Mag 20/30 on ebay, and they look about the same, two pinch bolt on
either side. I know I am streching, becuast the distance between the
forks is probably not the same, and the same is probably true of the
diamater. Does anybody know if this will work? or do I gotta just bite
the bullet?

If you want ANY future warranty consideration from Marzocchi DO NOT DO THE
ABOVE ROCKSUX IDEA. Bite the bullet.

I would think you'd run into severe organ rejection issues with this
transplant combo. I'd go with the Marz crown.

I just had my LBS order the Marz crown, $160.00 WHEW! Sure hope it
doesn't break again for a while.
Thanks for the input.

Pretty sure a Mag 20 had 25.4mm stanchions so no chance it would fit
anyway.

Early Judys and some Manitous both had roughly 28.6mm stanchions
and the same leg spacing so people used to dork around with the crowns,
but in this modern press-fit age hardly anyone does this anymore.
