Marzocchi Forks
I don't hear alot about these forks? I just bought a used Cannondale with a Marzocchi Bomber Pro ETA 120 mm w/ lockout. Any useful information on this fork from users?Any tips on proper setup on a 195 lb person? TIA

^^^ HAHAHAHA don't start that up again!
What do you mean you don't hear a lot about Marzocchi! They are in the top 4 of bike suspension manufactures!

Marzocchi, in my opinion is the best.
And they're made in Italy.

AM1 & AM2 among others are indeed manufactured in Taiwan.
The others (Better ones) are from Italy.
Don't confuse the AM1 with the All Mountain 1.
Totally different. I'm confused as to why Marzocchi
would label them so similarly. (Is that a real word?)
Fox is actually one of the newer fork makers.
They've made shocks for ever & a day though...
