Hey guys,
My first post here. I have been lurking for quite some time since this is a good site with lots of great discussion.
Im fishing for support regarding my new fork dilema. I've been running a Marz 66 and am upgrading to a 888 for my demo 7 frame. Going low stack with the headset so i think it will run sweet geometry wise. Im not a racer but do ride whistler and freeride stuff on the north shore.
I just recently picked up a brand new custom built 888 for a good deal from the marz guys in Vancouver. It has the 2011 lowers with fitted and slotted bushings, but the original WC non tapered/milled stanchions and original RC3 cartridge. Assembled by the marz tech out of old stock.
Is this a sweet fork i will be happy with or am i torchering myself with the pictures of the 2013's?
I am a bigger guy at 220 without gear. It has a 6.5 Ti spring so i might be good. (old gen)
I want to mount this thing only when im sure im going to keep it.
Is there anything good that can be said about the non tapered stanchions? and the original RC3 cartridge?
Or do i pony up and get the 2013 for the extra investment, which i am hesitant to make.
Thanks
