Ladies ladies, yes, you may spell Bomber like that, but the fork isn't called a Bomber, it's a Z1 BAM, or 66, or Z1 Drop Off, Z1 Freeride, or whatever the fork may be called, not Bomber, that's what chav's call them, and that's what Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeev was getting at.

Nobody cares who you are formally known as.

bombers dont have cartriges, theyre an open system. you can strip the damping rod out, and replace just the damping rod. im pretty sure windwave can still get hardware for most marzocchi forks.
'bombers' eh? go back to school, the crap end of the marzocchi range uses SSV (aka pumped rods) they are not a crap end fork. So please unless you have solid information dont post something undermining already posted statements! because you might be wrong, like in this case  i stand corrected they do run cartridges, part no. 11 on the exploded diagram. p.s. bombers eh, yes thats how you spell bombers, maybe you too should go back to school, and attain you GSCE english, you may be able to spell cartridge then. please also explain what exactly is a 'pumped' rod, is it something like you over inflated ego, or did you mean, damping rod? hahaha, may spelling may not be top notch buddy, but at least i know what im talking about to be honest, so perhaps NEXT TIME you can actually know what ytour talking about instead of giving out dodgey information on a set of forks, you clearly know nothing about. i type fast hense mass typos  |

Except the marzocchi 'Z' series forks were known as Marzocchi Bomber Z(number). Hence why this fork has BOMBER written down the side of it. What have chavs got to do with anything? Jeysus.  |

I say chav's cause they tend to recognise "bomber's" as good forks, which they are, but people "in the know" tend to call them by their model, not the Bomber bit... |
