I just ordered my first fork that will need air pumped
into it, a Marz Z1 Dropp Off 2. I have never had anything
other than elastomer or coil and

oil

fork.'

Will I need a special pump?

Will I need a guage?

I weigh 210lbs. Will I need stiffer springs (it has an
coil and oil)?

I don't understand anything beyond rebound and preload
adjustment. Any tuning tips?

Why did you not ask these questions before you bought the
fork??? Just bring it to your lbs and the will set you up
right. Try to support your lbs whenever possible.

Because I read enough reviews to have faith that it is a
great buy for 290. My lbs' aren't very good. Infact they
aren't much better than wallmart. ;-( Also, I like to tinker
with these things myself.

Any help will be appreciated.

You could start by downloading the manual and reading it <h-
ttp://www.marzocchi.com/template/listSPAManuals.asp?IDFolde-
r=126&LN=UK&Sito=mtb>

Starting at page 57 it discusses the air deal with
your fork.

You may need heavier springs. You could always give
Marzocchi (661 257 6630) a quick phone call and ask them. I
seem to remember their forks coming stock for an approx 180
lb rider ??? could be wrong.

I already have read it. It doesn't make sense to me that is
why I am asking for help.

Please anyone?
