Hey there,
Wondering if anyone can help me out.
Recently bought this bike second hand, and noticed the shocks are very very easy for me to manipulate, I'd like to stiffen them up. I took them to the bike shop and they weren't sure what the max setting was for them. Anyone have any ideas? The shop owners said 20-30 psi and I currently have 30 psi and theyre still quite easy.
I'm 6'2 , 230
Thanks for all your help and time
James.

When I went here http://www.marzocchi.com/template/detailProdotti.asp?LN=UK&idC=1561&IdFolder=113&idMY=30710&IdOggetto=30801# and read the manual is says no more that 15psi in each leg. But my 08 DJ2 has to be pumped up to about 40psi for it to feel right for me and they recomond 0-15psi on that fork also.

The thing is I have only one leg in which air can be added, and today I went to a bike shop and this place said I could pump it to 60 psi and it feels perfect.
