Keep those wheels spinning!!!!!

Do not know the wedge, but Most Marzocchi forks out of the box are fitted with a stiff spring. On most models an extra heavyweight spring is available. I said I do not know the wedge, but if it is hydraulic, a change of oil to the heaviest weight available also assists.

On the Seat post-- I will let you know in a couple of weeks but tomorrow I fit a Cane Creek Thudbuster. This will hopefully be easier on the backside to my "No Name" suspension post. I can assure you, the stoker does need a bit of help in the cushioning department, so I will let you know the verdict on the cane creek in a couple of days.
