    Marzocchi 350 cr

    I couldn’t find a reliable supplier in Australia. You try maxima racing fork oil 125/150 (i think) It has the same specs as Golden Spectro. But switched to Motorex 5wt in the damper and damper side lower and still using 15wt rockoil in the air side lower and in the air chamber.

    Marzocchi 350 cr

    That makes sense. I've got a few of those spacers laying around, I'll give that a try next service. Cheers EMF.

    Marzocchi 350 cr

    I have a 2015 model, but yea the red rebound knob is a pull off. It's a similar arrangement to how an RS rebound knob is held on...except there is split ring around the end of the bolt (instead of an o-ring) that the lip on red cap clips over to hold it on. The Rebound knob is a bitch to get...

    Marzocchi 350 cr

    I went with the consensus and gave them a quick service before even mounting them to the bike. They weren't dry, but it sounds like it's hit and miss as whether they will be dry or not. I emailed Maz while waiting for the fork to arrive and the recommendation was 40ml in each leg. I only had...

    Marzocchi 350 cr

    I love this fork, so much so, I want a 320 to replace my Reba on the xc bike, because the Reba action is so dead and uninspiring compared to the 350, could just be that I'm comparing apples and oranges there though.... I've been riding the 350 CR for the past 6 months (it replaced a...

    Interesting input on wheel sizes 26/27.5/29

    Fair point... I may have jumped the gun slightly there on proclaiming the debate was over. ... Without reading the study no one knows what the sample size is. But the number of wheel sizes (3) are not what makes up the sample set, it is the number data points taken. I.e. Speed vs distance for a...

    Interesting input on wheel sizes 26/27.5/29

    ^ Haha and everyone's interpretation of the study/results will be the same... to suit their own opinion. This was an interesting video and good to see some real science actually being done rather than just trying to serve up a big cup of koolaide.... As others have said, the science showed...

    Help with saddle choice????

    After a trial of a bunch of different saddles to confirm if there was anything better for me, I have gone back to the fizik Gobi xm. The wing flex just makes it so much more comfy in the thigh saddle area at the bottom of the pedal stroke for me. But it is a bit of a knife so it kind of wedges...

    NewZealand road trip

    Rotorua is a long way from Queenstown by car especially for return trip you'll need a couple weeks probably 3 if you want to get any serious riding done in between all the driving. This road trip will also require a Ferry ride across the cook straight. Last time I check the ferry was in the...

    What are people rocking " Hydro pack and parts or Co2 and bottle "

    Haven't tried a USWE, but I ride with a shimano UNZEN 6 which buckles up in a similar way. It is hot, I was surprised at how much hotter the chest straps make it rather than traditional shoulder straps. I have modified my UNZEN to buckle up in a traditional manor and keep the straps off my...

    Modern Mountain Bike Geometry Defined - Transition Explains Effective Top Tube Versus

    Just shows the traps we all fall into in making a narrative to suit our ideals.... I find it interesting how they make a whole discussion/argument founding in some sort of technical data or facts (great stuff, that's their profession)... But then they turn around and just throw out a complete...

    Time to retire this helmet?

    Ultimately it depends on how much you consider the manufactures instructions to by covering their ass against any liability. Personally if it isn't cracked on the inside I'd keep it. But I don't expect my helmet to save my life in major crash. My expectation is that it will prevent minor...
