Yooo.

I made a previous post about swapping a dmr frame for a spezialized p-2 chromo, but insted of swapping i've just bought the frame of the dude and kept my dmr.

And just wondering what forks i should slam onto the p2..

Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 3 (08 model) or Marzocchi Dirt Jam Pros (06 or 07 model, **** knows)

I was thinking the dirt jams coz of the air but there a bit ****ed, there making some twisted noise and i'm too poor to get them serviced at the moment.

So which are better?!

the Dirt Jumper is the better fork.

my Dirt Jam Pro (2005 or 2006) had a problem with harsh top out. when you pull up off a jump the fork would rebound out with a "kunnng" sound.

i was able to improve it somewhat by using the internal rebound adjustment (which is a total pain because you need a really long socket extension with a 12mm? allen head, to go down inside the fork leg). i also replaced with fork oil with heavier weight.

other than the sound though, it really didn't affect the riding, and overall i liked the fork--way better than other low end forks i've test-rode like the RST Space. it seemed to have a good cross-over ability between jumps and xc (b/c it was one side air). eventually, the air side started to leak.
