Aren't easton and mavic tw made? If yes that's the best argument for taiwan on the market.

Don't know about Easton but most of Mavic is made in Romania. There may be some lower price points sourced in SEA but most rims and wheelsets come out of Eastern Europe.

HT pedals, Maxxis tires (china), virtually any handlebar you use, Easton stems...?, azonic wheels.

But you vaguely imply this is a bad thing... when really it isn't.

Nope. I'm just wondering what will happen to marzocchi and why and where they move production from suntour. There are rumours about unpaid bills...

Fair enough. I wonder if another production facility change will cause problems as in 2008.

never knew mavic and romania

Yup. And the distributor for Marzocchi in germany is already full of **** (cosmic). They managed to loose a Monster for over half a year and take ages for service and warranty claims. Needlesly to say that they can't provide neither titanium or steel springs for the 888. I hope I don't break my fork this season.

In Poland they do their job but they have low stocks, ridiculous prices and from what I know to be certified by them you need a weekend course from Marz, formula and a bunch of other brands. Apparently Marz only has good distribution in the US

That's not the case at all. I can't say what exactly, but that's not it.

Pretty good here in Australia, they have a nice clean workshop too.

Marz have given me no problems at my shop here in NZ so far.
