I am riding a set of 2002 Marzocchi MXC airs and i was out a couple days ago and i lost all pressure in the fork. It was a little cold out...like 7c (i don't know what that translates into in F). Anyway, i had read that sometimes in colder weather the seals will shrink and cause a loss of air pressure in the fork, but i had never had a problem w/ it before.
Is it likely that the seals are gone? And how difficult is it to replace the seals?
Finally, is it worth it to get a fork pump for these low pressure forks? or is a normal pump fine?

Thanks a bunch
yes get the low pressure Marzocchi air pumpderby

I think you can still purchase one direct from their web site. Get the Marzocchi one for ease of use for your low pressure air fork. I think they are $25. And very handy compared to running to the bike shop to use on to tune your fork to work best for you. Take it on a ride or two and try different pressures to adjust the sag more or less to find what feels best for your rides.
