Hayes mount on first pic - and been told that zocchi continue to spread Hayes thru the range...

They can't spell.
I think it was Pinkbike.

Yeah, makes sense though.
Two reliable companies making parts to work together.

While I like post mount brakes, I don't think frames/forks should come with them. It just hurts compatability.

It's actually not such a problem now, since Shimano, Hayes and Avid all use post-mounts with adaptors. No, nobody cares about Hope.

Actually, it can be a problem. Relatively soft fork lowers can be a big problem for post mount systems. If you strip out an IS adaptor, big deal, if you strip out the post mounts on your fork, you get to buy brand new legs for your fork, and due to the soft material, it's more likely too.

Use a heilcoil then...

Did you not see the word "compatibility"?

Besides that, take care when bolting the caliper on and chances are you'll be fine. I haven't managed to strip mine just yet (or any of the dozens I've installed calipers on).

 

[ioscope]

I think that the wheels roll forward
that should help with your stripping issue

Whoaa!!! Did Any One Notice That Theirs A Bolted Crown On The Dj1!!!!

 

[MikeD]

Anyone else notice that the lower crown on that white 888 seems a lot flatter than the current stock crowns? Or is it just the angle of the photo?

Here is a better shot:

I want to see a better shot of the revised 66 crown

Wow, looks like they've got preload and damping knobs on top this year, too.

 

[LOOnatic]

Dam.
Looking real good ! I've been milking an extra 1.5 year on a Boxxer and i think this is the year i pull the trigger on either this one or the ghetto-fabulous Fox 40.

i still think that bolted crown was a bad idea!

 

[iridebikes]

the 2006 dirt jumper is bolt on because too many people were breaking the crowns... therefore with the bolt on crown, when you snap it, its much easier and cheaper to replace. It is also about a 6 pound fork total rather than the 8 pound dirt jumpers now. That info I got from the marzocchi tech guys a while back.
I think the new stuf is pretty cool looking.

 

[punkassean]

definite improvements!

Anyone got complete pics of the '06 Konas from the marz shots....

Check out www.farkin.net --> forums, there's some in there somewhere (general discussion I think).

 

[lovebunny]

lookin good. i think it would be sick if they made that white 888. itd match my bike!

 

[kicknitLivE]

I bet those rear shocks are butter. Colors.. WTF!

 

[DROP]

ya i understand that but awhile back when they had bolted crowns on the tops of single crown forks it was cracking the stantions but if they've fixed that then im all for it.

I'm a whore just like you. If that orange 66 makes it to the U.S., it would match my bike.
