How much difference is there between the Marzocchi Z1 and Z2 forks. Seriously thinking of replacing the Z2 on the Fluid FS2 with the Z1 but will it make that much difference for a trail bike?

The Z1 has 36mm stanchions vs the 34mm of the Z2 so if you're after some additional stiffness then the Z1 is the go.

What forks do you have at the moment?

I don’t think I’ve ever been so heavily bombed with discount emails. Shockcraft,cyclinic, mtb direct, the list goes on.
Pushys is bordering on spam. Every single day. multiples.
I’ve stopped even reading them.
lucky I’m broke or I’d be even more broke!

I know man. Your missus contacted me. She found my number in the Shiny Shit Anonymous SSA member directory. She’s concerned. Real concerned.
She said if it was just porn or even over spending on the weekly rub’n’tug budget she could deal with that. But the shiny shit man. There’s too much shiny shit she said.
I think it’s time you reached out to your sponsor man.

She should be used to it by now. It’s all good when I beat her home and hide it first.
One year, maybe 2034 I might have a garage sale?
Now who people please point out a bargain on a 230x62.5 shock?
Cleary I did my research on this one and am now buying more parts

Try being into motorbikes and mountain bikes - multiple emails every day for the last week from all retailers - although I did manage to get a steal a pair of boots that they somehow gave me 40%off instead of 20% waiting on shipping email to see if they reneg

Honestly, the last thing I need is a new shock. I’ve got and ext storia that makes me smile every time I look at it and giggle every time I ride it.

Yet here I am waiting for my newly purchased Marzocchi bomber to turn up because… $211 is ridiculous. And because bloody Kavenz make their bike so adjustable that I can run it as a 180mm monster just by flipping the shock mount upside down and getting a longer stroke shock.

It’s amazing what you can convince yourself you *need*

Perfect pricing to justify the cost of custom tuning on top then you'll get a good shock.

I wanted to do my bit for inflation but missed out on the AXS GX derailleur because I did the right thing and waited to asked permission first.

100% Snow sports + MTB + some roadie stuff. 3 different types of gear and equipment. :oops:
some cross compatibility btwn road and MTB, but not everything is practical.

Didn't mean I had to go nuts buying shit I didn't really need simply because it was on sale, but the FOMO BS can be challenging to resist.
