i'm looking for a pretty decent fork, nothing 400 dollars or anything, that can take maybe 1-4 feet drops (like off a picnic table in a park).

am i okay if i went for something like a marzocchi dj 3?

thanks in advanced.

Marzocchi DJ3 can handle more than 4 foot drops easily. It should do the job.

thanks, that was quick. nothing better in that price range right?

the dj3 is strong and cheap... i love mine

Jeez go look at jenson. z1fr3 and all mountain 3 are better forks for around that price. The dj3 is very heavy. Damping would all be equal more or less, but weight is the diff.

Call Marzocchi and ask about 04 forks. I just got a brand new 2004 dj3 with 130mm of travel and super t lowers (20 mm through axle) for only $160. It was a custom build that Marzocchi did. There are about 64 left. That would also be good.

i don't know anything about forks, but since you're the admin you're probably really knowledgable, thus i think i'll go with what you said.

but between those two.... which one?

the all mountain 3 is 345. the z1fr3 is around the same price.

the dirt jumper is 219....

quite a difference in price. how much of a weight difference are we talking here?

I have a DJ3 on my bike and its awsome for what you want to do. Itll actually do more like DirtJumpP1 said. Ive done a 7 foot drop on mine. They are really strong and inexspenive. They are also very easy to adjust. Ill sell you mine
