|   Z5 100 = 80mm travel? | SteveB2
Mar 19, 2003 5:25 PM | | I have a 2001 Marzocchi Z5 100 with what appear to be the red springs (~180lb rider) inside. I'm 145lbs and am only getting about 80mm of travel. Is this all I can get out of this fork?
The current spring rate is a little stiff for me but I could live with it, unless dropping down to the white springs (145lbs-180lbs rider) would give me the "missing" travel.
What do you think? I've set oil height around 45mm and changed to 5wt already.
What about switching one side to air?
Thanks. |

Getting the right spring is something that many lighter riders overlook. You'll enjoy the fork more. |
