    Favorite Trail:Mammoth DC10
    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Purchased At:Maxxis Bought it for me
    Strengths:It works
    Weaknesses:Idk what i did but my rear shock clicks on the rebound.
    Its fairly loud and effects performance...
    I've already replaced the bushings and tried a bunch of other things.
    I work at a bike shop too.
    Similar Products Used:Metal
    Dhx 5.0 air
    Bike Setup:Kona Stinky Deluxe
    Pretty changed up but still not to happy with the whole bike.
    Think i might buy a new frame
    Bottom Line:Wouldnt get another one.
    If i had to do a spring shock from marzocchi i'd spend the extra $ and buy the world cup version

    The top adjustment dosnt click either and can be turned very easy. My pants or bushes turn it.

    Really smooth though.
    Marzocchi makes grteat products I think it just might be a defect in mine...

    Any advice to what the clicking might be, please send me an e-mail at rockforever91@yahoo.com

    Date Reviewed: December 30, 2007
    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Purchased At:came on kona
    Strengths:compression adjust is nice that it nearly locks out
    Weaknesses:the top part alwayse unscrews from the inner piston causeing serious oil leaks, also leaks out of bottom. You can soften it unless you replace the spring.
    Bike Setup:fairly stock 07 stinky deluxe
    Bottom Line:personally im not too heppy with marzocchi right now, my fork is now acting up. but as far as this thing, i believe the DHX looks way sicker, and has more function. the roco leaks too much and is lacking in the adjustability department
