Anyone removed disc tabs on Marzocchi Bomber Z fork?

KeepItSteel · Oct 10, 2018

I'd like to remove the disc tabs on a Z2, the lowers are a steel alloy IIRC? I assume the tabs can easily enough be cut off and sanded smooth? Or is it a curse-inducing operation in practice?

Does anyone know why some/most Z2s came Canti only, whilst others included the disc tab?

I think the difference may have been whether they were OEM or not?

I've got some tab-less ones, that I'd happily trade, but I don't know if they're the same model as yours?

Re:

I think I have some bombers with a broken disc tab if your interested seems a shame to butcher a good set. Not sure what model but can check on the weekend.

Arnt z2 short travel aswell 80mm I think.

Re:

Lowers aren't steel. Most likely magnesium.

Travel is 65-80mm depending on year. The internals are cross compatable.

I would guess a nice coarse file would make short work of the tabs. Finish off with a fine file and tape off the legs to keep errent strokes from scratching.
