May 19, 2003 9:03 AM | | Yeah, its a pretty sweet fork. I've used a Z4 flylight air since october 1999- its had two oil changes and still works absolutely perfectly with no play in the bushes at all- it must've done at least 2000 miles on two different frames. We've got marzocchi forks on all our bikes in my family and they all work well. my dads got last years Z4 sport which is pretty much the same as the MX, but if i were you i'd make sure it was the 100mm travel one (i think you can change an internal spacer around) as it really makes a difference, especially on a full sus frame.
Overall, a quality bit of kit for the money- go for it!
Changing the subject slightly, i'm thinking of upgrading the fork (Z4) mentioned above (as its only got 80mm travel- it still works ok!). I'm thinking of either the Marzocchi MX pro ETA, or the Rock Shox Pyslo XC U-turn, as they cost about the same and have some form of adjustable travel. Any thoughts?
