If I use less air pressure I get excessive brake dive. I weigh 160 and at this pressure the sag is still '0'. When I push down as hard as I can, I only seem to get about 2.5' compression. Marzocchi drop off 3 manual pro#I recently installed a Mx Pro LO 100mm fork. I just noticed this thread and thought I should x- post my questions here. Marzocchi drop off 3 manual mods#I have to run far too much pressure to avoid the spikes and only end up getting 60% of way too progressive travel.Ĭustom mods to the simple valving maybe? I'm thinking I should get the compression side internals from the RC2X? Are they still available? That's a lot of questions but my wrists are going to snap soon so thanks for any info. Going into a rough section it'll work for a couple of hits and then bang!, it's like there's oil cavitation and sudden zero compression damping. I think I'm riding as fast as I ever have at the moment but the fork is spiking really badly. However on it's last service I put the usual 10wt oil and 10cc's more than the stock for my weight (200cc) and suddenly it's all over the place. Hello all, I've cut and pasted this here as for some reason when I posted it it ended up on page 5? I have a 06 66VF2 that I've had lots of luck with. Marzocchi drop off 3 manual manual#P.S.Download owner manual and find tech info for the 2006 2006 - DROP OFF 3 Marzocchi forks. Marzocchi drop off 3 manual full#now the more air you put in the shock the more dampining you will need (less turns in the clock-wise direction) 1 full turn clock-wise is where i would start then work your way back to close (counter clock-wise) my set up is 1/4 turn open (clockwise from closed) with 50 in the right and 9 in the left. i turned the rebound all the way counter clock-wise untill it stoped closing it. any way i am about 190 and ride hard big drops ect. The adjuster is of course all the way at the bottom of the upper leg but my 12mm allen from the hardware store works fine. Hey i also had the clanking problem with my drop off 4 on a kona coiler if you let the air out of both fork legs and remove the top of the right leg you can compress the fork all of the way remove the spring and use a 12mm ''L'' type allen wrench to adjust the rebound. I haven't tried it, but tomorrow I will be headed to the hardware store for the 12mm x ? wrench. Have you had more luck than I have getting the Drop Off to act more like a high and low speed compression and a rebound adjustment with the air, or am I dreaming?īelow is info from 'Kona Casey' from another thread. I think I'm headed to the 888RC, but I'll play with the DropOff more before making that change $$$. I know it is what it is, but I would like to have the ability to soften the chatterbumps down the logging roads, and still have a plush landing feel on large drops (without making adjustments between). Since I ride the whole mountain, I'm not excited about the setup in the Drop Off. they claim that it's when you have the spring under pressue it bows inside the fork and 'tings' against the inside of the fork legs making the noise. Also, after I posted this initial tread I went back to the shop and asked them to pump up a Drop Off on a New Stinky to the pressure that I was trying to run and see if it makes the same noise. Also, although the fork is still making some noise, with the constant chatter rocks along the road, I got used to it. It still seemed a little stiff in the front for that. Monday I set it to 30psi/7psi and went on a long xc ride up some logging roads. I wish my guage had more exact increments, but I'm still playing. I haven't gotten as low as 27psi, but I like your advice about making it softer and run a bit more negative pressure. After playing with a bit, I know you're right about the amount of pressure I was running.
