I have a few Marzocchi forks that could use service ('00 Z5 QR20, '02 SuperT Pro, '10 80mm DJ... plus more)
Is there some person, service place, or a shop in Canada who can service them? Seals, oil swaps, disc brake adapters, general rebuild. They're all in decent shape but of course... they're all leaking, and the Z5 isn't functioning too well
Contacted Marzocchi and they directed me to someone in California. I trust the services would be good. It's going to be expensive though. Shipping + exchange rate makes the work probably not worth it for me.
I have serviced a few Marz forks on my own, but I don't have a garage/shop anymore.
Happy Friday! Thanks for any help
Could be worth going to chat to your local bicycle cooperative There's one near you called Bridge City Bicycle Collective. If there anything like the one I volunteer at/others i've visited, there's bound to be someone there with some knowledge/a workshop for you to use!
I have a very weird issue with a Shimano Saint 10s RD and a Shimano XT 11-34 cassette.
It is a fairly fresh drivetrain, in fact the whole bike is new. Not brand new, got a few rides in already.
The annoying thing is that when power pedalling in the easiest 3 gears, the chain/cassette/RD is crunching/grinding. B-gap is set properly to about 5mm, indexing is as precise as I could get it, shifting is smooth, no other noise or grind being felt when changing gears.
Just the top 3 gears grinding. Clutch on/off, no effect. Casually pedalling, no crunch, power pedalling, loud crunching. With/without RD mode converter, no effect.

I would guess chainline? Can you move your chainring inboard a few mm? Also could be worth checking derailleur hanger alignment.

Bought a Garbaruk chainring, 9-12s compatible, should have like 3mm chainline adjustment. No effect compared to a standard Shimano XT chainring.
If it was the chainline, though, I think there wouldn't be the "power pedalling" thing. It literally only occurs when I pedal really hard, standing up. (No, it is not the bottom bracket) It just feels like something between the RD arm and the cassette.
Been a headache for me since the bike was new a month ago, can't seem to get a single clue.
Same frame, 12s XT drivetrain, no issue. 10S Saint RD, 10s 11-34 XT cassette, issue occurs.

Is the cassette properly torqued down onto the freehub body?
Noticed these cracks where the seatstay meets the seat post on my old (2011?) fuji hardtail.
Saw it earlier and hoped it was just paint damage, but frame is f*cked right?
Is there any point trying to replace the frame to get it running again? I looked online for 26" xc frames with qr wheel spacing and 1 1/8 headset and found nothing.

Definitely.
If its a modern 11s freehub body, do you have a spacer behind the 10s cassette? 10s cassettes are shorter in length than 11s by a few mm, meaning that with 11s freehub bodies when the cassette fixing bolt is done up tight the cassette itself can appear tight, but not actually be fully compressed together. This regularly leads to noise when cranking hard in the easiest gears.
Road 11s freehubs are longer than 8-9-10s freehubs. But mountain 11s uses the same freehub by cantilevering the largest sprocket over the spokes a little bit. So the extra spacer would only apply to a road 11s freehub.
I am trying to swap rims on two bikes. A 141QR Boost to 148 Boost conversion, and then the opposite for other bike 148 down to 141QR.
I see conversion kits on Amazon and Ebay, I've watched a few YoutTube vids, but I am absolutley lost. Ha!!! It looks like simple end caps to just "pop on" but my rims don't look like what they are showing!!!

The 141 to 148 conversion would be for the hub spacing… so I assume you mean to say that the hubs don’t look like in the video? What hubs do you have? And do you possibly have a link to the end caps you are seeing?
Or are you trying to swap the rim itself and re-lace the whole wheel?
