Shiver DC's had the air bleed port as well. In the top cap.
Dear Marzocchi

i dont recall one on my original model one, but then again its been so long
mine had them, it was an '02.
Why did they gain three pounds?!
Was it because they had the extra long stanchions for converting to a "super monster"?
Hmm, mine were a 2003 model. It was a tiny allen head countersunk screw with a tiny o-ring seal. You had to be careful not to lose it but there was a definite "pfffsst" of air when you unscrewed it and it seriously sorted out the forks when done from time to time.
Dear Marzocchi,
You are being shown up by Manitou. Seriously. I can barely fathom a reality where that statement holds true.
you've never ridden a bos fork...
I thought those were closed cartridge and didn't have much oil in them?
so where do you think their weight came from?
My 08 did the same thing and Marz were on it like a fat kid on a smarty. Of course when yours was an issue they hadn't had the disaster of ATA and loose bushes to contend with.
P.S I'm pretty sure were in the same Province, and yeah Marz Canada is harder to deal with nowadays.
As predicted when they first touted the idea of Marzocchi Canada being on the shore, they are overwhelmed with folks looking for "factory service" on their 2006 888s, when any shop within walking distance would be able to do it with no worries.
Well obviously all their weight comes from the air bleed valves in the top cap. That's like 5lbs right there!
Maybe if you weigh them after you've bled the air out they are 5lb lighter?
What if you put Helium in there? O sheezlay
I always thought it was the ugly stickers that added weight.
well, that was 5 minutes of my life I will never get back.
I have some off of the the bomber dual crown. If they are the same we can work something out.
I dunno, I've had exactly the opposite experiences with Marz Canada. My 07 888WC stanchion was replaced while I waited and I had two 08 66ata forks in the house that needed attention a couple of times and were back in my hands within days. To top it off last year I was given great deals on 2010 models to replace the 08's. And no I'm not a "bro" either.
Compare that to my 07 Totem 2 step that was in warranty 3 times before I was told that it just couldn't be fixed. I was still taken care of by the distributor, but I've never bought another Rockshox fork since.

hahahah awesome... called the f**k out.
Hahaha. Naw that's just for fun. Don't worry about me ill be fine
But you can walk right in. That's pretty Bro IMO.
Not so easy for the rest of the country.
Marzochhi, please build in some side to side flex like the Dorradoes have, I think it's going to be the next big small thing, and I wannna be cool.
Not exactly true. I had two forks done by Marzocchi Canada, and they were done quickly, and done well, and thats by mailing them in.
Hey now, don't get me wrong.
I'm not bashing Alex or Naz - 4 years of living on the Shore meant plenty of time hanging out there.
But they do seem busier than they are able to handle at times.
Considering how craptastic some of the forks have been, is that a huge surprise?
