OK so single crown fork guys the Avalanche cartridges are being fitted into single crowns now so mini DHFs...
The weigt added 6 ozs to the 66 but also went from 245ccs to 50ccs in theleft leg so its just a lubricated leg now and so the weight is a push now...
Marzcchi 66s are ready to roll and the Totems are being worked on as well as 36s and the 40s also in progress...
Review shortly to follow
They have a shortened rod so if you decide to go to a dual crown you order a longer rod and the adapter kit it fits right into your other fork as well..
The same cartirdge as the dual crown forks and has HYDRAULIC bottom out as well.... HUGE plus...
Cartridges, there will be 3 lengths:
203mm version (in 66 210ccs damp leg and 50ccs non damper side)
180mm version
160mm version
They are all the same as far as internals, speed sensative etc... YOU WILL be able to retrofit them to other forks by ordering a longer rod and tube if you have the 180mm version or 160 you can go up or down then get the adapter kit OR you can do like I did and get a 203mm version with a shorter rod so all I have to do is swap it to a dial crown and order a longer rod.
Either way Craig has made this totally interchangeable and with just a little more you CAN retrofit it to other forks as well so theres no need to sell it off if you decide you want a different fork chassis or you destroy your chassis.
Marzocchi 66 2011 CHASIS
Avalanche 66 Cartridge
Oil lock ring from Avalanche make sure tapered side is down
2011 MArzocci 66 lowers slotted bushings
Golden Spectro 85/150 cartridge fluid 200-210ccs for cart side and 50ccs for non cart side
210ccs so 200-205 after rest is left in container
Compression knob
Installed
2011 66 with AVY cart
And the parts that came out. These will retrofit the knobs as well for the adjusters and hopefully a replacement cap for the other lower leg to get rid of the rock nipple sitting there...
INITIAL setup and pics: Going to do some stair
Ordered a 2011 (platinum ) chasis it will be here monday so till then Ill rock the 09
Tips: First off the adjuster nut does not come close to hitting frame, when installed take Avy adapter back it off so its open push down fork 1-2"s hold it then rethread adpater back in when its tight then let nack up it gets rid of any air in there ion the single crown stuff... Also the air assist Im running 2-3 psi for preload with a yellow spring 238lbs...
Group ride with tuning and ride report... (ALWAYS make sure fork has enough preload, OTB into the rocks today)
Heres the group
