Is it a mistake to try to run a Marzocchi fork which is designed to use air preload at 0psi ?
I dumped my air preload (4psi). I did this because I didn;t care for the forks feeling w/ air in it. And after dumping the air I was so pumped w/ the way the fork felt. Ultra ultra smooth, quick... But I didn't care for the metal clunk on big drops. Ouch !
So, I added 5ml oil to each leg. The fork hasn't bottomed yet. But it definetly stiffened the fork ride. I plan to let 2ml from each leg before my next ride and see if I can feel it. Seems crazy 5ml in each leg would make such a big difference.
So, my question is regarding air preload. Is this a going to work (messing w/ oil heights) Or should I accept the fork was built to use air preload.
PS: w/o air it appears I'm at proper sag.
PS2: Why can't all Marzocchis feel like my 03 Shiver SC ? Super smooth never bottomed on anything. And I never even opened the thing. It just worked. (I've owned six 97-04 Bombers this was the best damped fork)
