This is directed at bschmidt. Maybe if your friend learnt how to change a tube or fix a puncture it wouldnt have cost him so much.
why does this always happen at silver star? 4 bikes that i know of, all different forks!

Yea it was stupid the people at silverstar said insurance might not cover this strucual damage. I was thinking then wtf is insurance for?! 
I managed it by taking a photo of it. But the kid who rode it managed it by bottoming so hard the stanchion snapped off. Its really odd though. Normally when this happens Both stanchions snap or crack but in this case only one did... Oh well
nah its only this model 66 ive researched it and only found two snapped ata 66's but i found more than 15 of these snapped
ya they should make them in italy again......dont buy new marzocchis they arent dependable get a rock shox

Ha. Wait till my friend that has the same glory sees this!! He thought he had a super good fork. Well I think otherwise
they do but not in their freeride genre they got the 36 which pisses oil much more often then the mzs go wrong but on the other hand the fox rc40 is 10% better than the 888's
Marz is only better for the 160-203mm range of freeride forks. But the Fox Van 32 are freaking sweet for a FR hardtail, But if my 66 does this, i am getting a 40...
the fox van 32 is their xc model you mean 36 ? but yh those forks up there hav had too many problems this year
Nope, i mean the 32 Vanilla RLC. Mines an 07 and ive done alot more than just xc with it. Check out it out, its under the Haros album. Ive dont alot to that fork, and it hasnt broken or done anything screwy.
thyre too low too do propa freeride on theyre about 100mm ive seen more then three come in with oil pissing out but other then that theyre really good forks
140mm. 5.5in of travel. More than enough if your smooth at a resort or making new trails to test. Mine only had a leak late last summer. The fork is from early 07.
Oh yh the vans are 140 mm but yh the seals on fox forks are crap i think once you get them serviced theyre mint though
Its going out to get Push'd, was gonna get Enduro seals, but decided to just get it Push'd cause i have 10% off. (pretty much getting it revalved, precision seals, and better oil)

This is why you dont buy rent or go near Olympia,
Plus they over price everything.
And have no idea how to fix bikes.
