Marzocchi MX Comp
Having new forks fitted tomorrow morning - Marzocchi MX Comp's with the ETA lockout.
I've never used air-forks before, any tips?

Although Zochs are great forks I would not take the air forks off any big drops or jumps.
Other then that you should enjoy them. The ETA lockout makes climbing much easier.

just keep up the air pressure. The ETA is a great function. It is not a total lockout but climbing is alot easier. I put a MX Pro on my wifes new bike and she loves it.

Thanks - Picked them up today, even locked out I get pretty much as much travel as I did with the Suntour's I had previously 
The front of the bike is raised a little, but handling seems fine.
I've set the pressure fairly high - I'm a big bloke, and I'll run them in for a few miles before I play too much.
