|  Marzocchi Z1 FR SL owners, please help this lazy bastid. | Finch Platte
Jun 17, 2003 7:09 PM | | Just had the fork installed on my Enduro. I need help with the settings- I remember someone posting here a while back re: letting all the air out & pumping it back to spec.
I'm too lazy to do a search here, and if I have a beer in one hand and the remote in the other, I can't read the instruction manual.
Tips would be wonderful, and if you want to fly out to adjust it personally, I'll pay your taxi fare from the airport.

Jun 17, 2003 8:18 PM | | While you are at it get better tires, those knobby tiogas just tweaked my soulders with their inability to track. I'm running an '02 Z-1 so can't help you on the air problems, good luck fishing! |

| what about sag? | Mr Magoo
Jun 18, 2003 3:55 AM | | since sag should be 25-33% of travel, you may come to a position that's acceptable. Set sag first. I'm a coil spring guy. (z-1 CR) |

Jun 18, 2003 5:04 AM | | Reviews. I noticed a lot of people put their weight and what the settings were for that particular weight. I weight 145 pounds and found a review withe the settings for 150 pounds, so it should be close to what I am looking for. It would be nice to take all those settings and graph it to see if there is any relationship.
Later Mon. |

Jun 18, 2003 7:14 AM | | I have the same setup and am currently running the Positive air at 55psi and the Negative air at 150psi. I am 6'3" 250 and mainly ride XC with minimal drops. There was a post about a Marz tech support having someone release all the air prior to refilling it but sounds like a wast of time to me. The only tought thing is the negative air chamber has a very low volume so minor air preasure adjustments are rather difficult.
As far as the bars being higher than the seat I had the same complain, but after readjusting rear shock preasure for sag and rebound as well as seat height (proper leg bend in combination with sag) it was pretty close. I then took out the 4mm of spacers under my stem and placed them on top of it to lower my bars a little and put a little more weight on the front tire.
I like the feeling of more weight on the front wheel and I am very close now to perfect so I am going to replace my 100mm 10 degree stock stem with a 110mm 5 degree. I am sure once I do this I will need to tweak the preasure/sag on the rear and front again but the is part of the fun. I should have plent of time to do this since I dislocated my shoulder last week and no more MTB for 4-6 weeks. |
