I picked up a new 66 Light ETA and took it for its' maiden ride this afternoon. I followed the Marzocchi set up guide for suggested air pressure for the 200-220+ weight range which is as high as the chart goes. Anyhow, their suggested air pressure for this weight range is 52 to 65psi. I originally filled it to 65psi and it was so incredibly stiff that I went down to 52pos which is where I tried it today. The fork is super stiff. I did some jumps and a couple of small drops around 4' along with a pretty rutted downhill run with jumps and small drops. I used 98mm of travel which is somewhere around 3 3/4". I find it hard to believe this is from new seal stiction and lack of break in time. I was running about 7 clicks of rebound and 1 click of compression.
The manual also said to set up the fork with 25-35% sag. I was never able to get more than 7mm with 30psi.
I believe the Marzocchi manual is wrong. Any suggestions on air pressure?
