Hi from the uk! I ride a DMR trailstar that i use for most types of riding and it has a Marzocchi 2004 dj 3.My question is can i use the fork without air when riding xc,does it do the fork any harm.I realize that bottoming the fork hard will probably damage it eventually but as i will be using the fork without air for xc only then hopefully that will not happen.Cheers.{English speak meaning thanks}

Yes you can use the fork without any air pressure.
The fork has springs in both legs, and you use only air pressure as a preload adjustment.
Max air pressure is 15.psi.

I ride my '04 DJ3 w/ 5 lbs of air on the trails and find it to be surprisingly smooth.
