Post by mizike77 »

I cant really remember ! Plus the bike is in winter storage. How about a pic and you decide? I think marzocci?

Those are 38mm Marzocchi forks

google FORKING BY FRANK or FRANKS ENGINEERING for new tubes.

I would buy 2 new tubes if it were my bike.

It has a bend to it. I made the mistake of riding anyway, so now it has these little "ring dents" up the leg.....

It came out of the tree just fine. Went back in very tough. Im pretty sure that I bent it whle rebuilding the fork. Just a bit too ham fisted I guess...
