Well, I got it filled with 5w oil and actually found someone who had the proper equipment to pressurize it with nitrogen. Took your advice and had it filled to 80psi. I figured right in the middle of the two extremes should be safe. I put it back on the bike and NOTHING!! I mean absolutely no damping at all. It was like a trampoline...bucked me right out of the seat. Don't know what to do now. I have never experienced that with a shock before. Should I have the thing rebuilt and by whom? Marzocchi have informed me that they won't touch it. And if I do replace it, what is a good replacement? Thanks for the help. typhon |

Hi Typhon, As I have earlier post this information to the Paso group site. There is an Italian manufacturer for rear shocks to use in Paso, or at least their list got those. They have different types depending what you want, from racing type to street type. This is their website http://www.bitubo.com Mika :thumbup: |
