Marzocchi Bomber Dj 3 Manual

Apr 16, 2010 - Just got a new giant stp and it has the dj3 on it. Riding i noticed the fork is. I think its the only adjustment one can make on these forks. Find great deals for Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 3 Forks. SR Suntour MTB Forks 26 XCM Manual Lockout 1 1/8\' Threadless 100mm Travel Spring.

This is a no nonesense hard charging fork. It does the job with no problems and no bells and whistles. I set it up right the first time and never have to mess with it. Just the way I like it.

There are many more expensive and adjustable forks out there but if you get a great fork you don\'t need all that stuff. I love this fork and have had more expensive and adjustable one but never used the adjustments much and they just took money from my pocket. By using this fork I have more money to have more bike choices.

I have a large stable. I like it that way it allows me to have more friends. For the price that I paid, ($200) you are not going to get a much better value. I had been worried about getting an all air fork but one ride on the All Mountain III cured that. Lets be fair, it doesn\'t feel quite like a coil but its darn close. I ride this fork on a hardtail that used to have a Manitou Black Elite on the front. The difference is night and day.

While the Manitou Black is a nice fork and has a lot of adjustability, I didn\'t realize how unstable it was until I but the All Mountain III on the front. There is not flex or shakiness whatsoever. My confidence hitting rock gardens and doing smaller drops on the singlespeed has doubled. I have mine set to 130mm of travel and put in a bit more oil than recommended for my weight to prevent bottoming.

I set it up with Marzocchi\'s recommended oil levels and felt like I was just blowing through the travel, even on tiny drops. It took me about 3 or 4 rides to really adjust the amount of air and oil to get the fork how I like it. I guess that would be the only real downside. That said, this fork is not a Z1 FR or Marzocchi 66. It is a lower cost fork with basically no one the fly adjustability. But if you know that when you buy it, you should be very happy.

Marzocchi had the dirt jump market pretty much to themselves for years and the DJ3 is still the most common fork you’ll see in any ramp-infested clearing. It’s a quick-release fork, but the simple forged lowers are very well proven in terms of slam proofing. The coil-sprung internals get a simple but effective bottom out damper for slam control. They can also be stiffened up for emergency-only movement (if that’s what you’re after) by charging the auxiliary air spring. The simple rebound circuit is fixed at a slow single hit rate though, with the adjustability saved for the £249.95 DJ2. Enough metal to cope with regular crashing also means a big chunk of weight in the nose of your bike. Get inspired by our deals.

Guy started filling his brain with cycle stats and steaming up bike shop windows back in 1980. He worked the other side of those windows from \'89 while getting a degree in “describing broken things covered in mud\' (archaeology).

Dug historical holes in the ground through the early \'90s, then became a pro bike tester in \'97. Guy has ridden thousands of bikes and even more components the world over since then and can remember them all in vivid, haunting detail.
