Yea, DirtjumpP.1, how is that DJ3 working out. I still cant decide what I want for my P.1. I havent done my do it in a while.

i have no problems with it. its super strong, it definatly takes a beating. you can set it up really stiff for urban or dj stuff, or take a bit of air out for the rough stuff. i can hardly tell that its heavier than the old fork. i would say that for the money, its a good buy. these forks are definatly under rated.

**** happens. Nothing wrong with Marzocchi. Like it was said above, give them a call and they'll help you out, wither with new lowers or a new fork. Probably not free, but at a healthy discount.

True. I really want to get something with a 20 mm just because it will be better in the long run. We will see, I am going to wait until the 2006 models come out.

The guys at Marzocchi are awsome. I live right by them, they'll take care of you to get you rollin asap. I had the same problem but with an old Z.5 I broke, I got a brand new DJ 3 w/20mm dropouts and 130mm travel for a $100. I love this fork, simple yet efective.

Talk to Erick at Marzocchi.

so bassicaly all of you guys are saying that the dj3 is the best of its class (besides the dj 2 and 1)

theres always the sherman jumper and the fox forks (which ever one kyle strait uses)

Marzocchi customer service is great! I had an 04 DJ 3 that I rode for a year and a half before it broke. Then I went with a Sherman.... broke it in two days. then I got a stance static... it needed to be "upgraded" before I could ride it, then the seals wouln't hold air, so i sold that... I went with fox next, because I felt that marzocchi was to heavy. well my fox lasted 5 months before both seals blew, and one of the stanchions cracked. So today, i but an 05 Marzocchi dj 3 on my bike. Hopefully it lasts, I've had my only fork luck with Marzocchi before, so i am guessing it will continue. Their customer service is 2nd to none. After riding my zocchi at the the trails today, I can honestly say i didn't even noticed the weight difference (nearly 2lbs!) it felt ..... hmm...reassuring when i was jumping 15-20 foot gaps. I stick with zocchi, they're great!

i rode a dj3 and then sold it and got a fox vanilla125r. Its 3 lbs lighter and has only needed the seals replaced once in the last year and a half. it made my front end way lighter, which i like.
