2004 MX Comp Coil Manual?
Well, I went and got the MX Comp Coil.
So with it came the Marzocchi 2004 Bomber Owner's Manual, which was informative enough only for the most basic adjustments. The manual that came with my old Superfly was superlative, with a complete diagram of the breakdown of the fork. I checked the Marzocchi site and downloaded the manual (2004-bomber-en.pdf) which wound up being the same lame one that came with the fork. Anyone have a full breakdown diagram/instructions for a 2004 MX Comp? TIA. /s |

It sure is hard to follow, especially compared to the old Marzocchi manuals. |

They've pulled all their info off the website too. You'll need to take it to an "Authorized Marzocchi Service Center". It's one of several reasons I'm leaving the Bomberhood as soon as funds allow.

Mike :^\ Defection, not good. Do you know what your going to? 05 Boxxer World Cup for the DH race bike and a 05 Fox Talas RLC for the XC bike. I'm keeping the 03 Super T on the Bullit. Like I said "Lot's of money." The 888R spent more time at Marzocchi service than I had to ride on it this summer. I finally got the fork dialed in and love how it rides but I don't trust the lowers to last without further problems. I've heard from friends that the porous casting develops leaks or the side wall blows out entirely. I've also heard the lowers just snapping off as well. I don't trust it and that's a bad thing with a DH racing fork. The 05 Boxxer has the same 8" of travel, service support is present at the national races (never with Marzocchi but it wasn't a problem when you could work on them yourself!) and I have a good friend of mine that works in tech support. The 04 Marathon S (replaced a original Marathon with a bad negative cart) has a ETA cartridge that doesn't work. It won't hold the fork locked down it slowly creeps up. The Fox Talas is adjustable from 80 to 125mm and is a solid fork. My friend has had two of them (his son inherited the older one) and they are very happy with them. Their service support is also present at the national races. I've never been blindy brand loyal. I still am a fan of the older Marzocchi forks I just don't see the same quality and support coming in their newer offerings. Don't get rid of that Shiver, Slackman. I'm sorry I did. Mike |

I was thinking of buying one of those (or an '05 model). so what are you going to do and what type of fork do you ride. is it Manitou time, or Fox?? I really prefer to service stuff myself when possible. never taken a fork apart, but that's never stopped me before... bri -- * enjoying the karma * remove LKJSDFJSD from address to email |
