Well I finally receivied my Marzocchi MX Comp which was back ordered a couple weeks ago. This morning I installed as much of it as possible and did the measuring for the steerer tube length. Just need to get it cut which I'll do this evening, when my dad gets home and shows me which saw will work the best. This form should be sweet. It'll look awesome on my black and silver Diamondback. Has a lot more travel than my previous fork which came with the bike and is adjustable. Hoping to take it for a try on Friday.

cool, remember to measure twice, cut once.

I suggest putting everything together leaving the steerer tube long and play around with the spacers to make sure the stem is at a good height for you.

Even then, I'd leave the steerer tube a little long. You can always put a spacer or two "ABOVE" the stem in order to use your top cap to secure everything.
