Default 08 EC300 Marzocchi Shiver stock lower stack

OK. I wasted a bunch of time trying to get the information I needed from Marzocchi USA technical support. After one email and three phone calls in three days, finally someone called me back. Of course, I missed that call due to signal issues on my cell phone. Didn't matter. They didn't have any idea what the stock stack was. The voice mail I got said they could try to email Italy, but didn't know if or when they might hear back.

I'm not impressed with Marzocchi USA customer care.

So, I went ahead and tore #1 apart again. Here's what I found for a stack on the bottom valve (compression) starting at the bottom:

6- 22mm, .12mm thickness
11mm, .2 thickness
12 through 21mm in sequence
Piston
22mm, .31 thickness

Reassembled #1, then #2 using that sequence with 610cc each of Honda SS-7, 5 wt. Good to go!

It was probably best to take the other fork appart as you always would have wondered

Marzocchi USA is mostly mtn. bike suspension oriented and I've found pretty useless. Marzocchi UK is better.

I probably would have contacted Les at LT Racing as he's probably seen the iside of more of these forks than anyone and possibly would have known. Still it wouldn't surprise me that stacks could differ slightly from bike to bike depending on who built the stack to begin with...and their state of mind
