If you want an Avy cartridge for your 38mm 888 email Craig at Avalanche. The cartridges fit any fork but require adapters and he's making them in the order of demand. He said that the sooner he gets sufficient emailed demands for the 888 adapters, the sooner they'll be available.

Craig's email: techinfo@avalanchedownhillracing.com

Good times yeah definently email if your intrestesd to show support for the 888s... Its like a DHF in a 888 chasis (without the weight )

 

[NY_Star]

Calling tomorrow. I tried today but realized it was 6:30 when i was calling lol

 

[Lelandjt]

I think he'd prefer that you email. More time to whip out prototype adapters.

Craig also mentioned that he might try to make conversion kits for long-travel single-crown forks if there was sufficient demand, so let him know if you're interested.

Oh yeah, I have 2010 Totems that feel pretty damn average, this might be just what I need, cheers.

A decent website would be nice.

Umm - Marz 66 qualify for this?

Are you joking? This is a one man suspension tuning company. I'd rather he make good stuff, have good customer service, and be as inexpensive as possible. No need to spend extra money for a fancier web page.

Nerd

If thats the only real complaint Im pretty imrpessed...

Actually B its being worked on and will be re;easing soon as well..... If it all goes well. I actually by chance ended up chatting with the guy building it or going to be and good designer should be sick...

Yep, thats my only complaint with Avy. I love Avy/Craig.

 

[bullcrew]

I think the new AVA program will be the goods to have.... I know first hand the hi speed mod is top notch and makes a HUGE difference, the woodie shock is hands down better than the rest Ive ran, the 5th element mod works great, and a DHF aside of weight is bottomless and tracks like a ninja...
So given the cartridge adapters pop out soon its going to open up alot of potential for riders...

And the website if it remains on track is pretty bad @$$.

 

[92SE-R]

im in for a 66 cartridge.

 

[Tomasis]

I wonder which marzocchi is cheapest for to fit 38mm avalanche kit?

VF, RCV would go well? which year started marzocchi use 38mm stanchions?

 

[Kntr]

One of my buddy's wants this.

 

[HardtailHack]

To whoever post that single crown forks could be upgraded soon, you lie through your teeth.

I got this in reply-
"Possible in the future, at this time we do not have the cartridge tubes and rods that short.

Thank you,
Craig Seekins"

So I think it may be a while away.

 

[PepperJester]

Will Craig be making adaptors for the 35mm 888's too?

 

[daisycutter]

look at his site. He told me he will keep it up to date

 

[PepperJester]

will do. I may as well fire him an email too.

 

[bullcrew]

yeah hes just starting with the 38mm then the 35 will follow.... If people want the 35 they should email him to show support for it, each adapter design costs $ to manufacture in a mid QT then the whole line coming out cost a pretty BIG chunk of change so trying to accomodate the one with intrest first then the next one follows...

I didn't say 'soon'. I said he mentioned that he might try to make conversion kits for SC forks if there was sufficient demand. If people are legitimately interested, we should let him know.

 

[Lelandjt]

Which year did Marzocchi start using 38mm stanchions?

In 2008

 

[foesrider]

i saw on the avy site that this has been pushed back till august now...sadly.

 

[Lelandjt]

Yeah, I saw that too. More people need to request it.

 

[bullcrew]

Trust me guys this cartridge is worth the $. Mandown and cableguy will get some time on my bike this weekend... ill have them chime in I can say it feels like a DHF and soaks up EVERYTHING.....

 

[RogerH]

Good to hear that the cartridge performs so well! I loved the damping on my DHF!
I ordered the 32mm Boxxer version last week, but have not received it yet... Can't wait!

If it works as well as I hope it will, I'm certainly interested in a version for my Marzocchi 66.
Not sure about model year, but it has ATA spring and 35mm legs. 130-160mm travel, I think... Probably -06/07

 

[IH8Rice]

Not sure about model year, but it has ATA spring and 35mm legs.

they are making it for the ATA versions too?

 

[PepperJester]

I emailed about getting one for my 07 888. Sounds like there have been lots of people asking but not enough ready to commit to building the carts for them yet.

 

[Lelandjt]

they are making it for the ATA versions too?

ATA and coil 888s have identical damper legs so cartridges will fit both.

 

[IH8Rice]

ATA and coil 888s have identical damper legs so cartridges will fit both.

yeah, thats right. i forgot this is only changing the dampeninor

 

[92SE-R]

So will this work for all models? I've been looking for cheap budget dual crowns to get the new cartridges. Will it work for a 2008 888RV? I want to get some AVY action.

 

[Lelandjt]

Yes, but not until August. At least that's what it sounds like now.

 

[bullcrew]

HERE THEY ARE 888s 38mm , 35mm and the Boxxers 35mm , 32mm adapters are done and in...

Installation instructions are on the site and eady as well as pics mauals etc it is now a fully lined product for Marzocchi stuff and Rockshox...

Direct from Craigs mouth "The 38mm MArzocchi feels absolutley AMAZING, WOW!" Apparently better seals and bushings.

38mm on left and 35mm on right for 888s

 

[Tomasis]

darn im starting save money to buy that first before fork
