I've got a bottle of this for my next fork service, Motul Factory Line 100% synthetic: https://www.motul.com/gb/en/products/fork-oil-factory-line-light-5w Marz recommend 7.5w but I've also run 10w in the past. Depends how you like your fork to feel.

That's neat. I think I've seen these mounts on Trek VRX bikes too, nice to keep the options open for fitting new calipers.

Best forks? Bombers from Marzocchi, plentiful, easy to service, lots of models available. Coil/air, travel options. Not sure when they dropped the rim brake mounts but still had them in 2003.

Has anyone got a good solution to storing forks? Not sure how many pairs spare I have, but something like 5/6 sets of Bombers with the steerer tubes attached and 4/5 sets of rigid forks, road and MTB (just moved house and they are all packed in boxes carefully wrapped). Problem is that they're...

Another new one showed up - Plummet Smart Bomb - Looks a lot like a Club Roost to me.

Hi eshew. I've a set of Z1 QR20 forks missing the axle entirely. What spec tubing did you use to make yours? Cheers!

That's cool. Mongoose have made some nice bikes back in the day. Are you still riding it?

I've come across these with some other parts recently. Don't know much about them, other than DNM branded shocks and forks are still available new. Can anyone confirm the model number? I'm thinking it is an LSF-80 Quality seems fairly good and they seem smooth. Paint and stanchions also in good...

That's a nice looking adapter for sure.

Do any of you Formula experts know when their calipers changed from FS mount to IS mount? In 1997 Marzocchi Bomber Z1 came with Formula Mount tabs, in 1998 the Z1 Alloy had Formula Mount too whist the Z1 BAM was International standard. By 1999, I don't think there were any Marzocchi forks...

Another design to add. 1999 Marzocchi Bomber Z5

Thanks Vesatoro. Are they now in the archive?

Quick question. I've just been browsing ebay and noticed a Marin with a headtube sticker the same as mine - see pic, with a 'CYC' number on it. I always assumed this was my frame number, but I'm not so sure now. Could it be some kind of tagging scheme like datatag? The sticker and font on mine...

Thanks Talpfa. Just found the PDF following the link from that Youtube video.

Thanks for the responses. Looks like I'd better strip the shifter and take a look inside.
