Evo fork oil

[Rrawlings]

Thanks for the details Vince. How would you get the disk to me just by post? On searching for that special tool it showed up a description and some photos for a Diavel for rebuild and to be fair looked straightforward. Knowing the air gap is a bonus now as part of me was going to take them in bits and just put in the same amount that they had in oil wise.

My main concern is that the guy I’ve used for fork and shock services over the years and bike setup won’t touch Marzocchi forks he said things can go wrong in the process and require machining parts to put them back together. I really trust what John says so wondering what to do for the best. Brooks suspension is a 15 minute drive from me and their website quotes about £150 for the evo forks. Might be easiest and safest option

Yes - I'm happy to post it to you. Just send it back when you're done. PM me your address if you want it.

If you're thinking of taking the forks to a specialist, you might also consider replacing the progressive springs with some linear rate ones tailored to your weight/riding style. I think Brook Suspension are K-tech agents aren't they? You could have K-tech springs fitted. I did think the springs just dropped in but I've since learned from Crawsue that they have to remove some material from the fork caps to make the springs fit. I'm sure Brook Suspension can give you more details. The lightest suitable K-tech spring is 8.5N/mm. If you want to go softer, then Maxton can accommodate you but they'll also have to make you a longer preload spacer as their springs are shorter than standard or K-tech versions.

I went with 7.5N/mm from Maxton and that's perfect for me.
