Hello!
I have some problems with my Marzocchi Z1 QR20 forks. They are 2000 model (bolt on arch). The thing that makes me crazy is the creaking noise they make when hard braking, but lately this sound is appearing even randomly when I put load on the fork. I suspect that they are creaking in the area where head tube and crown are put together or somewhere else in the crown area, but there are no visible cracks or something. This sound is not made by springs rubbing against stanchion tube, it is something else. Like the bolts that hold stanchions in place (crown bolts) would be loose, but they are not. I checked all bolts and they are tight, I even greased them but the problem is still present. Any tips how to stop that sound that makes me crazy?
