Did you buy it new? If so, its probably a later 08 model which those don't have all the problems the early 08 models had.

Totems if you got the money, but only if they are solo air!
66 RC3 FTW if you got an average budget.

rock shock is the spotlight in the sea of 2 watt bulbs out there. only other brand that is in the same playing field is fox. (and maby bos, dunno, havent rode one)


and iv seen 08s marzz come ito our shop absoultly f*cked up. a guy (paul) (a local, and frequent shop shopper.) came in with his 08 marzz 66 rc3 and it was pissing oil all over the place. he swapped it for his older 06 66 rc2x, and even though the 08 is fixed, he wont touch it. iv ridden with him. he is a good rider, and does not abbuse his equpment. one of the many reasons why no one in our shop runs marzzochhi suspension unless it is older than 07.

nothing. just ride it, and if it breaks, sent it to marzz and have them repalce everythign thats f*cked up with the 09 stuff. supposidly its better. im not trying to scare you about your fork, i hope it all goes well and you have a good one.
