Marzocchi Z3.5 replacement steerer tube

Gnarlyboots · Sep 28, 2016

Hi, I've got a 97 Rockhopper, bought some z3.5's but unfortunately the steerer is at least a centimetre shorter than I'd like so I was wondering if anyone here could help with a replacement service or something similar?

Thanks

Great, thanks. Does it need to be un/installed with a press?

Ah, I didn't bother looking, all my Marzocchis have bolts in the crown to clamp steerers...not sure about yours.

If you have to press a new on in then the simplest solution is a steerer extender. Remove the star nut and fit inside like a quill stem.

It's not recommended to press a steerer tube out and a new one in.
Manufactures and some companies did that for a couple of years, but quit due to safety reasons.

Since the steerer tube is just a tad short. I'd try another stem with less clamping height. E.g. Syntace Superforce only needs 28mm minimum.
