Seriously though, this has been around forever and it isn't that hard to find on their site either. Nothing wrong with spreading the word but I guess there are always going to be a few that need to be spoon fed.

Ive only been biking seriously for a few months now, i'm sure you needed direction at times when you first began as well and as long as there are people learning about parts people will need to be spoon fed some information, hell my teachers do it all the time. its part of the process of learning. Also i do see your point about people not taking action and trying to find information on their own. so there is really no need to be angry at beginers becuase there will always be beginers and there will always be people that know the sport that get fustrated at the begginers. we all just need to forgive and forget.

i didnt call anyone a dick i said it was a dick move and yea i know i made a big generalization i see your points but i dont think you have to consider every instance of someone not knowing something that they learned saying they need to be spoon fed everthing

It must be my age.
LETS get this straight i am very impressed with sram rockshox ect as a company,and my totem solo air where possibly the best forks i have tried of the long travel single crown variaty.
and i love the way you can use the rebound adjuster to adjust the reach on my juicy 7s,and little things like that.
BUT i just got so dissapointed when the crowns kept creaking over and over again,stuff like that irritates me im sorry.
apart from that top forks top brakes.

Fantastic!

Other manufacturers should take notice.

It's tough to even find a parts breakdown on Marzocchi's site.
