....check out this pic of the fork on an '05 Kona coiler. From the kona.dk website.
Almost the entire line-up is posted on mtbr.

Marzocchi 66 may not be as tall as originally thought...

Thats the worst paintjob I have seen since.............
Well, ever.
Well, ever.
dude, its just a proto, chill out!
I bet the color stays, Kona is good about sticking to proto color's all of last years bike colors were already decided by this time. Fork looks cool!Originally posted by HTFR

If it has the integrated fender mounts in the crown, then it's still too tall....
thats because Kona releases protos into the market as half-year models...
what? looks fine to me
its because of the ugly stickers.
and i hear you need a masters degree in order to change the springs without breaking it...
No you just can't be a manitou or RS owner... put those dummies near a marz fork and you are going to have problems!:devil:
ahh, that explains the 'where do i jam the elastomers in' type questions....
By the time it's available for purchase, annodized gold will be sooooo yesterday. That's something.
Maybe go-ride can make some knurled, turquiose anno replacements.
The poorly controlled, too-active damping??
:devil:
yes the boxxer knobs control which way the screw holding the knob on is facingOriginally posted by Jm_
lucky for you, there's a knob which controls that(as opposed to a boxxer which has knobs, but they don't control the too-activeness)
yes, but i'm too busy to deal with adjustments, so i'll just complain how it bottoms out too easily and inquire about what fork i should replace it with. Chances are i'll try and adjust that new fork (because it too bottoms out too easily), bungle the wrench and break a very expensive part, complain about how the manufacturer is screwing me in replacement costs and how its all their fault anyways, then threaten to kill half the internet and proceed to get banned for life from a popular mtb site....
As in, if it has the fender mounts, it'll sit about an inch taller than it "should" as a fork for that travel. No real big deal, as long as frame designers take it into account when speccing angles, and say "this is for a 66, which is a tall fork for its travel", instead of the usual vague "for a x.x inch travel fork".
not if they changed the fender design. Aftermarket fenders dont require the extra space, so nothing says Marz cant tweek the design...
...dont some of their current SC forks have intergrated fenders without the extra height?
Did you really ban him for life zedro, youre such a good mod
actually his roomates have banned him from mtbr. I guess they have a static IP (probably a dorm) and the admin blocked it. The roomates begged us to re-open it to get access and promised not to let him screw things up again. They werent too impressed with his antics, and apparently he was still pretty steamed over the whole debacle. The guy has mental problems for sure, he had two other handles banned before that for pretty much the same spazmotic behavior (i'll kill you!...i'll kill you all!!!!)Originally posted by ViolentVolante

but where would we find the space to store them all?.......the bottles of oil i should say...
so if a guy in Washington who rides a trans-blue bullit gets murdered, does that make you accountable for reckless endangerment?Originally posted by Jm_
The funniest thing to me was that for some reason he thought I lived in washington, so he told me that he'd find me and kill me in washington.
I told him that yes I did, and that I rode a trans-blue bullit!
what was this thread about again?
Zedro do you have a link to that thread, i want to look at it, i never saw the im going to kill you stuff.

Besides, most people spell so poorly, it doesnt matter half the time...

I like maroccas...
Well the angle might look right, but theres also a stand holding the rear wheel up. I should get a burrito for that one
Dooooood! That exact same thing totally like happened to me. I hate Manizocck Shox they totally screwed me over...I was just ridin' along...and snap!!! I hadn't even jumped off of any roofs to flat yet that day. So weak man.
What a piece of work. I was throughly entertained for the better part of an hour reading that nonsense. He went too far with the death threats and junk about gay bashing. I notice he didn't post a picutre of his scrawny self, sheesh if he really needs a tazer or a switchblade he's not half the man I am (that's right all 150 lbs.)
The worst part is that he genuinely feels as if he got the raw end of the deal, which in reality he probablly did. If he had presented himself in a more intelligent way and used spell check he may have gotten a bit more sympathy. I applaud Marzocchi for their business ethics, as I don't get a discount in any way, I am the one who ends up paying for other people's mistakes, plus the 20% markup my dealer gets.
