Marzocchi Forks Through the Years
The Reason for the extrem Longterm-Performance is in the open Oilbath versus Cartridge-Damping ...

OMG, the Z1 from 1999/2000, with 130 mm Open Oilbath-Damping, was my very first Fork for a serious MTB. Man I loved this Fork. I still have a Junior-T from 2002 and guess what: This Fork still works flawlessly !!! :-D

This is a regular Production-Frame, with 650B-Dropouts and Wheels. For 2014 the only Upgrade I know is Reverb-Stealth-Cablerouting.

I have a Spitfire V2 right now. Would like to keep my Wildcard, but unfortunately can´t afford it, so has to sell it :-/

Agreed! Had five amazing Seasons on mine - best Shorttravel-Freerider ever made.

Banshee Rune 650B - Tested
Pigman65, I agree with you - call it AM, Enduro, Freeride (some Years ago) or whatever you like - to me it is still Mountainbiking. I ride up, I ride down and everything between. I don´t know for the UK, but german MTB-Magazines are very "Creative" in finding new Terms for new Bike-Categories. You know - Freeride Light, Long-Travel-Enduro and Bullshit like that ... depends on the Travel of the Bikes they are testing and reviewing, hahaha ...
Well, can´t tell for SRAM or Shimano but yes, YT or Canyon do have great offerings. This is due to the Fact that they are Direct-Sales-Companies. No Distribution or LBS inbetween, so less Margin for the Customers to pay. Plus I´m thinking of Low-Cost Frameproduction and higher Unit-Numbers of Parts compared to Companies like Banshee, for example.

Banshee Rune 650B - Tested
Dear Rob, does this Story not belong to the 650B Tires? As far as I know the very first "Klunkers" have had 650B Wheels, but then there was a switch to the more available 26" Beach-Cruiser-Tires you mentioned. Am I wrong?
