What kind of fork/s do you ride???

[the flying moose]

Well what kind do you ride? Please no bashing forks and companies. Im just interested to see what people ride.

Personally I ride a Marz 01 super t on the bike big and a Marz 02 dj1 on the ht.

[hampstead bandit]

03 Super T Pro on FR bike


and 04 DJ3 on HT bike

[.243racer]

03 sherman firefly with stiff ti springs

[Loopie]

I almost exclusively run DH dual crown forks....Marz...Shiver being the preference...but haven't tried the 888 yet.
Having owned an Avy shock...I'd LOVE to rip on an Avy fork and check 'em out...but too much coin.
Boxxer...no chance in hell.
Manitou....I wouldn't mind trying them...but won't do it on my own dime.
I'd also like to try a Stratos S8 Ultra...but again, not at my expense.

[trail worker]

ive been running and loving my 02 boxxer for the past year and a bit.
so far no problems.ive only replaced the seals once, and overhauled them at the same time.
they still run as smooth and buttery as the day i got them...they just look a little more ugly now

How does it feel compared to your 888 in terms of smoothness? Any issues? Now be honest....

hmmmm, to be honest its compeltly nite and day different...

both in terms of ride quality and "feel'...

where the 888 was a unweilding pig to move about the MRD somehow feels almost "featherwieght" even thou its not really much lighter in terms of real world scale weight...

im sure some of the "feeling' of lightness comes from the invert design thou...if the 888 was a invert it might "feel" the same as the MRD...

i dotn have enuf time on a Shiver to compare for example...:???:

also the tall stack height of the 888, really killed my BIGHIT's ability to ride slowly. esp. steering precision and balance work, the MRD returned both more dramaticly then i expected...

i like a tall fork, but the 888 was simply to TALL... 8-(

to be honest the 04 SPV damping system suks if u ask me...with even 20PSI in the chamber(set to the largest size to) it was basicly unresponsive...

i ended up discovering the fork felt WAY better/ and ran fantastic with ZERO PSI in it, haahhaah....

i've been running my MRD with "noSPV' for months now... and ive been happy as a pig in shit ever since..

the left leg(spring-only side) seal appears to either have started to leak or the Prep-M/ lube oil in there has worn into a watery thin gruel that teh seal wont hold back....

the right leg (SPV damping/spring side) has never leaked a drop or even exhibited a oil ring...:thepimp:

to be honest im super happy with the MRD at this poiint.... but i wanan try the FOX DH fork...

just cuz im more of a reg style fork guy... inverts are cool, but i'd take a reg. fork if i can find a light-weight one...

and the 05 boXXer/FOX DH both appear to be exactly where im headed...

hope that anbswers your questions...

feel free to ask any more u need...;)

[Nelson]

Cool cool, pretty much what I expected. If I get the Wilson Ill trade you forks :) 2005 Boxxer WC.....;)

[IFO]

sorry i have my MRD presold to a riding buddy....

in fact he's gunna buy the FOX DH fork and we'll swap for em....if i dont go complete Demo8Pro bike...

[PegCityThrasher]

An 03' JrT2 with 5" which is pretty fun and plush, but it's a loaner till I pay off my 04 DJ1, which I'm looking forward to. If I was gonna run a Manitou, I'd def. look into a Sherman Jumper.

[B]There's a Z150 for 05? :S



Apparently that what the 2005 Z1 freeride is labelled in the norco catolog but i checked the Marzocchi website and it's still called the Z1, apparently i don't know anything:D .

[switch]

They're probably the same internally, and in travel.

The main differnces are the Z150 has the QR20 setup, has steel stanchions, and probably weighs a bit more.

[Taylor_P]

running and loving my old monster t, still runs nice and plush like. i love this fork .
