Just to make the technique of my offered forks be clear here:
Marzocchi is a well known company in Italy and built suspension forks for motor cycles in high quality. In the beginng of the 90’s the first suspension forks for mountain bikes came to market build by Marzocchi (StarFork, PF1 etc.).

This Marzocchi forks are based on air and oil technique only. In short: the air makes the fork jumping, the oil does the damping. Means: The more air preassure, the ‘stronger’ the fork reacts. The more stiffer the oil, the more it does support the damping.
Air is adjusted through a standard automotive valve (Schrader), the damping can be adjusted using different oils (‘thinner’ vs. ‘thicker’), additionaly some of the forks have damping adjuster: little knobs which select different holes in the forks where the oil is running through.
What in all means: You can adjust this suspension forks for responsive and damping by changing air pressure, oil level and oil type. Cool, he?!

So all this forks from the 90’s, which are offered here with 24 and 26mm stanchions – let’s make it clear: this is about ALL forks BEFORE the ‘Bomber’ series – are 100% technicaly working like they came out from factory in the 90’s!!

But hey, how on earth is that possible?, you may ask.

Yes, just thats easy to explain: Because this forks don’t have parts inside which will break (e.g. blown cartridges), wear down (e.g. aging springs) or will change it’s functions during use (e.g. catridges)!!

BTW: Except oil and seals: this have to be changed in a normal service.

Seals Assembling
When mounting the Oil Seals put crease between the inner lips of the seals before pushing the stanchions in!
Important : Use a suitable tool to press the Oil Seal verticaly in!! If you don’t do that, the metal skeleton will bend.

Seals ‘Break-in Period’
“Some forks may require 5-10 hours of use before the fork fully breaks-in. After the bushings, seals, and other parts have matched to each other, the fork will move smoother. The tight tolerances make the fork last longer and work better.” (original text from Marzocchi Bomber Technical Information (2000) )

Knob / Dial Installation Instructions
Please glue the little screw of the dials with a little bit of middle hard screw glue. And use heat if you want to take it off than.

Sticker Instructions
Please use the sticker only in conditions >=20°C environment to make sure the glue will work and make the tubes oil- and grease-free using isopropanol etc.
