i started to do things a little more extremes, and it seems that i need a little more travel. I lo ve my xvert, it feels just perfect for me (thank you Heff), but i need more travel from my fork.
Is there a way to gain abou 20 mm of travel?

Thanks in advance, good luck and good riding!

hey if you dont have anything good to say just shut the f*** up. If marzocchi would have an importer here in Argentina, i would buy a Z1... and if you want you can give me the 730 bucks that costs the import of a Z1 from USA ... a**hole....

if im asking for help, its because i dont have another better option that modificate my actual fork... so before speaking think that not everybody is in your situation.

fu**in id**t....

That's what you're stuck with man. My bud has an Xvert, I have a Z1. If you set your frok up a littler stiffer, that should help you not notice those 20mm as much. I find the big thing is the angle the 5" sets you back. (like a chopper harley) for a more upright position on the downhills. This can be mimicked by a riser bar, or higher stem. I'm not sure about the insides on your fork, but thicker oil would slow the compression a bit (on mine, anyways) I hope this helps, I like to be a FRIENDLY, and AS INFORMATIVE AS I CAN BE, Z1 owner.

Yes, but tell us what you really think...TomB

There are some buttheads on this forum. And, some people who are just trying to be funny (sometimes yes, sometimes no). Don't let them get to you. Good luck in your search.

He knows all about suspension forks and often modifies them. I've found that it's the best forum available for front shocks.
