Alright heres the deal: Got an email back from Marzocchi and they said it would cost $120 for the QR 20 lowers for a Z1. Then they want me to pay for them to do a rebuild as well and then shipping would come to $200. I dont want to have to ship it out, so my LBS is going to order the lowers and put it on for me.
Then I need a new hub, but since my front wheel is a bit bent, it makes more sense to just get a new front wheel. Another bike shop in my area has a 20mm wheel for $150 with a Marzocchi hub, and Mavic rim(cant remember model). $150 is a little more than I want to pay for a front wheel, and Im sure there is something cheaper on the internet.
Marzocchi also mentioned that the only special tool needed to remove the lowers is a thin-wall 12mm socket.

Anybody know of a good deal on a new front wheel, and I'm questioning the ability of my LBS to install the lowers; another LBS said that there are many special tools needed to remove seals and bushings.
TIA
