Bomber Z2 X-Fly

Thanks.
Are they quite good forks?

Yes they are. But not very plush.

Very much more dependant on oil weight than some other forks.

I hope I'm not hijacking, but focussing on the spring pressure, am I correct in recalling that Marzocchi used to sell a special pump calibrated for the lower pressures that they used compared to RockShox etc?

I want to increase sag on my 2000 X-Fly to get more travel. I can barely tell what the pressures are with my RS pump, but maybe c30lbs. The instruction manual gives no guide to recommended pressures, but does anybody have any suggestions based on their body weight? I weigh ten stones.

Some time ago I placed the tech manual in the archive

Has all the setting you should need to start from, given your weight.

Not sure what Rockshox pump you have, but mine are either 60psi max (traditional mag21) or 100psi max (service mag21 pump?)
on the 60psi it's fairly easy to set to 1 or 2 psi.

But given your weight about 25PSI and 5 turns* on the rebound are your start point

*number of turns out from fully closing the damper (fully closed = turning clockwise until it stops.)
