Ah ha! That's what I originally inferred. I couldn't make myself go watch the whole thing so just assumed others were right. I just found it a touch funny because his is...

A) leaking (like all of mine)
B ) he's now pumping up the Marzocchi (like I did)

With his reach, I wonder if we'll see Marzocchi coil forks flying off shelves lol

Does Marzocchi use a different tune in their dampers because people seem to hate the 36 Rhythm but love the Marzocchi Z1 and I don't understand...

Does Marzocchi use a different tune in their dampers because people seem to hate the 36 Rhythm but love the Marzocchi Z1 and I don't understand because they're the same fork with different stickers.

My 36 Rhythm really lacked HSC but if Fox started putting stiffer tunes on the Z1 dampers I could see how it would be a lot better.

They're the same part number and same tune, the grip damper doesn't change much with different valving, it mostly only effects the resolution of the adjustment...

I guess that M arch really is the magic sauce 🤪


In all seriousness if the damper is the same and valving doesn’t change much it must be the coil spring does quite a bit of heavy lifting in improving that fork. Which I could see because the air spring on the 36 Rhythm is really bad.

Hi there

I had a problem with the Brakeline (braided steel Hose from Goodridge). Even the alignemnet was perfect it kind of bent in (close to bottom out) lower position and it touched the spokes… 

I put on brand new Hose but after bottoming out 

once it looked the same…IMG 1799 0.jpeg?VersionId=I1 49IM3MQKY2mrDuQbf4v

So now i fixed a Spoke to the hose with a shrink Tube and now it should work! 🤞🏼

Did some of you experienced the same problem?

And yes… mine leaked aftet the first run 🤓🙈

After servicing from fox its now perfect (maybe 8 months of Riding now)
