WOO!

I think I may stop in for this week's safety meeting just to have a beer and say goodbye to the headaches of that situation. Glad to hear that weight's off your back, CM.

nice one!! no probs for hookups...hope thats gonna do the job!

Mike isnt Gears of war the current title everyones playing now?

they just announced a september 25 launch of halo 3 but that won't help you in the mean time.

Hopefully it wont be as disappointing as Halo 2. What a let down after the first one.

hey you got to shoot 2 guns at once though!!!

btw, what have you got in the way of rear cantis? I was going to pick up an avid shorty 4 but I was informed that the latest shimano cantis are really nice and pretty reasonable. They are the Shimano BR-R550 Deluxe Cantis. Also can I bring my bike and drivetrain in tomorrow at lunchtime?

The only good thing about it. Its still a good deathmatch game to play against yer friends and online, but the rest of it was lame.

I have only cheap *****mano cants on hand right now. They are decent if you replace the stock pads with good pads but perhaps a little cheezy for the pimpin' ride. I will look around and see what I have in the way of good older ones. You can bring in yer bike anytime that suits you....get it?..."suits" you...you work in a bank...."suits you"......hahahahaha.... O.K....I admit it...that sucked. As you were.

Marzochi "bomber". about 2001 or so. probably not a high end fork, but if i can save it, all the better. i'd love to replace it with a suspension-corrected rigid fork. do you stock such a beast?

Keith....how's the eye doin'?

That's great to hear - congrats.

How about Nitto stuff? Can you get Nitto?

The Bomber can be re-built...cost would be about $150 for new seals, bushings and oil. For a sus corrected rigid I would suggest a Kona P2. They can be had for around $100. A very nice fork.

Its getting better. I am loving the lack of sunshine today. Sun+scratched cornea=a very grumpy cavernmech. I put on an eyepatch for 20 minutes at a time and this helps me greatly....YARRRR!!

Well right now I am only carrying the Nitto stuff from IRO...123's are about it. In a week or so when the brokerage is all set up I will be doing regular orders from EAI...home of many things pimpin'. What in particular were you lookin for?
3 posts in a row.....YAY!

perfect timing as the Pirates of the caribbean 3 is coming out...

YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
;)

Yo Keith...

Assuming I ever get a job, I'll be by for IRO goodies...

Damn straight c avernmech. **** UPS.

Cavern you've made me all sorts of happy. I'll be by sometime today to discuss build particulars with you. Now i'm school boy giddy.

Don’t suppose you’ll be getting t-shirts?(IRO)
I had the EAI site bookmarked cant find it now but i remember them having cool stuff!
Good news is good.

If it's still got the stickers you can usually figure out which model it is. Look on the lower rear of the rh side of the fork. There's also usually a date code cast into the slider at that point.

Some of the 'zokes forks are awesome- I've got one on my mtb and I wouldn't trade it for anything (well maybe not anything but I really like it)

Word to that. I had a 2001 Bomber Z2 on my bike for 2 years and loved the hell out of it. Had to swap/upgrade to 100mm so now my buddy Chris is rocking it.

ha. That is the exact fork I have. :D

the fork has a '97' stamped on the inside of the blade so i guess it's about 10 years old? it also has a "c2" or something, i can't quite make it out...

I'm looking for a seatpot, a stem, and a rack

found it: marzochi bomber z3, 1997. is it worth fixing keith?

Anyone know about electronics and such?

Here is my query:
On my trip I am bringing a cell phone, a digital camera and an mp3 player. I have a fancy battery charger with AC input that converts to DC and charges 4 nimh batteries ( http://www.semsons.com/pocpowban.html ). There is a USB port on the charger to then charge other devices off of the batteries or directly from the outlet. My mp3 player is no problem since it charges off of a USB cable.

The battery charger came with a USB to DC barrel type wire for charging non USB devices. The voltage is 5V coming out of the charger. The barrel is too big to plug into my cell phone which is 5V, so I am probably going to just splice the tip of the phone's AC adapter to the power circuit on a USB cable or make a simple DC barrel diameter reducer. Thats not really a problem either.

What is a problem is that my camera has a 4.5V proprietary DC input. If I get around the proprietary input and run 5V into the camera will I fry it? Otherwise I will have to carry an external battery charger for the camera along with an extension lead since it doesn't have a folding built in plug and kind of ruins the perfection of my charging setup!

Too bad i'm not an EE.

Hmmmmm...10 years old.....I will call the Marz service guys and ask if they have the requisite bushings and whatnot. If so then I would say sure. It is an older fork...and newer ones will be better performing and lighter..but since you dont really have anything to compare it against its not like you will complain that it isnt as good as fork B.
