Marzocchi 55 knock knock knocking
« on: September 28, 2008, 18:47:40 PM »

My 2008 55 Bomber ATAs make a bit of a racket as they top-out over small repeat hits - anyone else have a similar problem? Or more to the point, have you managed to eliminate it?

I do realise that they aren't the most reliable fork on the planet (after a bit of interweb research) so I'm now anticipating the worst, but any tips would be welcome.

my mate has some that do this, he used a plastic tie to stop the fork ever topping out, eg hold the fork 3mm into its travel all the time with the tie, works a treat Wink

Best bet is give Windwave a call. They have had so many problems with them they are fixing broken ones by fitting the newer and better 09 cartridges I believe.

Cheers guys - I'll have a fiddle and if they're still getting worse it'll be a trip back to Windwave.
