Your broken 888's?

I have a set that I picked up for around $100 USD, cartridges are fine, one staunchion is fine, lowers are cracked, bushings and seals perfect. Can't be arsed spending the same amount on a set of lowers as I can buy a set of 'Rado's for. Wall hanging? Beater/dam jump bike? FrankenFork?

light stand.

 

[Fly]

Thats a good idea. I was thinking along the lines of a dampened cupboard/fridge/bedroom door. Never slam again.

 

[iridebikes]

how about spend the money on new lowers and ride a fork that you got a killer deal on. or sell it?

 

[dexterq20]

Pogo stick.

 

[frznnomad]

send it back and let marzocchi take the hit for the parts, and you get a totally rebuilt warrentied fork. that is just what i would do.

if you dont want to do that lightstand would be pimp just get us pics.

 

[ChelanDHer]

I'd send it in to get rebuilt and ride it. If not, use it to club baby seals.




P.S. J/K about the seals.

Um.....
Never mind

 

[kidwoo]

Why don't you sell the bits to me so I have extra parts to keep mine running?

Don't be a jackass.

I'd do exactly what kidwoo suggested with it... sell it as a spare parts fork. Don't sell it to him, though, you don't want him having your personal information.

 

[OGRipper]

Wait, "'Rado" as in Dorado? As in you'd rather have a Dorado than a 888? People, there is no helping this guy.

woah deffinatly wasnt trying to be a jack ass man. was just giving my suggestion on what i would do with the fork. to me it is a disgrace to turn a 888 into a light ficture or a pogo stick. why not get your moneys worth by sending it to marzocchi to get new components for it and you have a new working fork. so sorry if you took it as me being a jackass.

Marzocchi won't just give him new lowers and send it back for free. He isn't the original owner. And even if he was the original owner they would still charge him for parts. This isn't Sram we're talking about here.

Agreed.

It just doesn't sit well with me letting the company take a hit for something that may well have been abused by the previous owner. It may not have been a manufacturing fault.

Annnd, yeah, by 'Rado, I meant Dorado. Who could ignore that sexy carbon bling? Hmmm? No 888 (excluding Bullcrew's, perhaps) is ever going to look as good as the Dorito.

 

[frznnomad]

ahh well im just telling you what i would do. zocchi is excellent about taking care of there customers or IMO. so whatever you do with it man gets some pics of the thing cause i really want to see the finished product.

888 lowers are 100 with seal and bushings

Really? I was quoted $400 AUD (~$310 USD) for lowers minus seals/bushings etc.

This is Australia though, and we pay through the teeth for everything. Fvcking importers. Anyone link me to somewhere I can buy a set of lowers? (will email Zocchi)

In Cananada/Whistler I was quoted $CAD320 havn't checked yet here in the states, been kind of lazy bout it.
If anyone wants a parts fork I also have one, everything but the loweres in greate shape/rebuilt, make me an offer.

Trying to get a warranty for a 2nd hand, cracked fork you bought is being a jackass.

He neither deserves nor is entitled to a warranty and doing so, if Marzocchi were to warranty it for him, is money out of their pocket.

But who cares! They're a huge corporate conglomerate thats killing our men and raping our women! They're stealing our grain and setting fire to our barns, hell, they deserve a bit of retribution, they make too much money anyway.

[/tongue in cheek]

 

[ViciousDHer]

Geoff bent 2 lowers this year, 100 bucks both times plus freight.

 

[BIRDMAN111]

yeah we have to stick it to the man!!!!!!!!!
