fork slop
« on: March 13, 2005, 10:57:35 am »
Hey guys.  I recently replaced my old Mega Air fork (which I loved) due to a leak.  I bought a brand new '05 Marzocchi MX Comp air.  I'll admit that I don't have a lot of experience dialing in forks, but for some reason this fork feels sloppy.  By that I mean it feels almost like a loose headset (which is not loose).  The only adjustment I've made is to increase the rebound damping so it's not like a pogo stick.  The fork is brand new so I know nothing is worn out.  You guys got any ideas regarding the cause / solution to the "slop"?  Thanks for any help.

Sounds like excessive play in the slider bushes,there can be a little play present in new forks to help alleviate stiction but not enough to notice,take them back and get them checked under warranty.
