Your timing for making this video couldn’t be better! I just picked up a 2001 Gary Fisher Big Sur this weekend for the nice price of $60, albeit with blown Marzocchi Z.5 (air) forks. Although it’s not the same shock you rebuilt, I now feel completely comfortable rebuilding these air forks based on the info you provided in the video, Kudos!

[@seramodulation2141]

Best Fork! Actually i ride the 98 Z1! Works like new... Service is so easy! Dr.Zocchi rocks! Greets from Germany!

[@tMena45888]

That Dr-Zocchi info is priceless thank you

[@rotaxtwin]

Wow, great resource. I have to dive in to two Bombers this spring so I will probably watch this again before I dive in. One is a coil spring and probably dry as a bone, the other an air/oil that has leaked since new. Glad to see your enthusiasm for these old beasts, they seem to be very well built.

[@outdoor75]

Awesome video, just rebuilt my bombers exactly the same model and replaced all new seals from Dr zochi. They are back on my gt sts 1000ds now. Cannot wait to ride!

Thank you for this great video. First time ever rebuilding a fork, I followed your instructions exactly and I now have a perfectly smooth set of z1s thanks again

[@simonfreer9076]

Oddly enough, even before you mentioned the smell. I remembered the odour. Thanks for the memories. Those forks were so amazing. Infinity adjustable (oil height and weights) strong, and 100% a game changer compared to Judy's with that tiny damper that blew up every other ride.

[@sinterior2626]

Agree, I had them in green on a hardtail GT, like Motocross suspension

[@andretokayuk8100]

Props to Jose! Excellent camera work! Thanks on the refresher.. been a while since I took an old Z fork apart.. got a Jr. T on the operating table and man, do I hate pulling oil seals.. Your tire lever+screwdriver trick (out of Pedro's fresh shoehorns) is working very well.. key is to exert great force slowly, with great control, going around like you would to tap off a crown bearing race off a fork.. can't go balls out, gradually increase force till it starts moving. I'll let you know how it went..)

[@cup_and_cone]

Every MTB'ers first experience with an open bath fork in the 90's: "I think it's broke, it's making slurping noises" 🤣🤣

[@vmoney9106]

One tip for installing the seal (did this 4x on 2 Shiver rebuilds last night) is to install the dust on the stanchion, and then slide the stanchion into the oil seal and hand press the dust seal into the fork. This is easier than trying slip the stanchion through both the dust and oil seal at the same time .

[@blazekin2015]

[@QTMagic]

Thanks for your video. I just serviced my Marzocchi Junior T and Bomber Z3 today. I encountered a few problems: 1). The oil seals were really tight in all of the forks. I actually bent a screwdriver trying to remove them from the Junior T. I found that the solution was to use more leverage (I found an old tapered file that was quite long) and to pour boiling water over the lowers. The boiling water made the aluminium expand (aluminium is a very good conductor of heat) and allowed the oil seals to be levered out with much less force. 2). When I reinstalled the oil seals and dust seals, I didn't have enough clearance to hit them with a rubber mallet. I 3D printed a Marzocchi seal tool (I found it on thingiverse), coated the inside of the lowers with rubber grease, and then used my vice (a triton superjaws) to force them in. It worked much better than using a hammer. 3). The Junior T "lower nuts" can spin around if there isn't enough torque on them. I had to put the torque wrench on the bolts, and then put the entire assembly into my vice (ie. I was clamping down on my torque wrench - it went vice jaw - forks - torque wrench - vice jaw). Only then could I get enough frictional force to tighten the bolts to 12Nm. Thanks for the video. I returned to this a few times to make sure I was doing everything correctly.

[@SRTM-yv4uz]

These forks were and still are the shizzle. They made the distinctive whoosh/slurp sound as the open bath did its beautiful thing and i'd ride these over my Yaris any day of the week if they had more travel to balance the geometry of my bike.

[@aceprater5397]

Totally dig the channel. I'm catching up. I have a question: can you swap innards of a fork to limit it's travel just a bit and thus fit a 29" QR wheel in there so it wont "bottom out" on the fork crown on hard hits? I have a few classic 90's all with Rockshox (Schwinn Homegrowns). I am looking to make one a gravel bike with light suspension. The Bokken 40c tubeless wheel fits in there now but it will bottom out on harder hits. If I can just limit the Travel 1/4" I think it would clear. I'm also wanting to try a coil/oil shock. Same question goes for both Rockshox/Marzocchi. All the newer quality 29" forks I see are tapered steerer tubes. BonusTomato: Also is there a framebuilder that specializes in converting aluminum frames to disk mount? I have 2 I would love to convert.

[@ButterSuspension]

It's "possible" but you'd have to make parts to do the conversion. Also, you would need more than a quarter inch of reduction as the difference between a 26 and 29 is more than that (even cut in half.)

[@sportsfreundberlin]

Any hint what to do if the foot nut just keeps spinning in place? Actually the damper is spinning with the nut. Stop the damper with a screw driver? Hasn’t worked for me. I am working on a Z2 but this should be the same as with the Z1.

[@ButterSuspension]

I've used a screwdriver before on other things but you want to be careful not to damage internals. You could also try an impact driver on the foot nut, I've had good luck with those.

[@tomrobinson7879]

Hi, thanks for taking the time to demonstrate this. I appreciate that these forks were designed to be serviceable. Good engineering. I've had recently had an experience very similar to yours with a pair of used bombers off eBay. '97 Z1's too. They were used completely dry. Unfortunately its created quite a few scratches on the bushings, presumably where grit has got in. The finish on the stanchion tubes is still good though. My question - should I be concerned about the bushings when I rebuild it? Which is harder the finish on tubes or the bushings?

[@ButterSuspension]

The bushings are just a Teflon coating, so not very "tough" but they aren't supposed to be tough, they're slippery (especially with oil!) If the scratches aren't protruding inward towards the upper legs they might be okay. Especially since those bushings aren't made anymore...

[@RoachDogggJR]

i have some old ass dj 4's (oem kona fork apparently) still buttery smooth and seals are pristine. when i first got em, they were siezed. quick lower service and its working amazing lol

[@mikeandhismachines]

got the website of Dr. Zoch? I want to rebuild mine now after seeing this. Amazing video. I've feared for a while that my bushings are worn, but now I'll take it apart and have a look see to be sure.

[@millhouse2612]

Fonally found the vid ive been desperate for. Dr Zocci will be getting an order for seals....and possibly a spring set too. I am 190Lbs, but was only 155lbs when last serviced, so they bottom out. Is the 7.5wt pil still ok? Was also thinking of upgrading the springs from stock to hard.

[@ButterSuspension]

7.5 is stock, but it's not a terrible idea to go up to 10wt. I'm 220lbs though and I'm running 7.5wt with a proper stiff spring, works great!

[@toxicsnail4197]

I've got a 01 Bomber Z4 that appears to be sleeping oil between where the two sections of the lowers meet, the straight section and the seal holding section with the v brake mounts. Any idea what could cause that...?

[@ButterSuspension]

Haven't had a set of those lowers apart but I believe there's an o-ring in each leg that can dry out. I'd reach out to Dr.Zocchi, see if he's got a fix for that.

[@toxicsnail4197]

@@ButterSuspension awesome! Thanks

[@VentureWayward]

Would this be the same kind of procedure for a 2003 Junior T Fork?

[@ButterSuspension]

Should be, yeah. The oil height or volume would be different, and there may be some other additional parts because of the length, but it's basically the same.

[@VentureWayward]

I just found a 2007-2008 Specialized XC Pro Full suspension with a Marzoochi Bomber MX Pro Lo fork. I have found a couple websites that show the exploded view of the fork. Super helpful. Also they have the Air and Oil fill amounts. The bike was just being thrown away in my apartment complex needs Pedals and handle bars and a new rear shifter mount. Other than that its is in decent shape. How hard is the MX Pro Lo fork to rebuild with the lock out feature on the left fork? I would love to hear your thoughts on it. I am in Washington State and I am hoping to get this bike rebuilt and on the trails before the end of the season. Great video and I will defiantly use it as a reference when I am rebuilding these forks. I am curious however if these forks may not have any air in the system making them more soft than they should be. The lock out feature I think is busted and it just spins with no engagement. Any ways thanks for reading my comment and hope you may have some responses.

It's "semi-custom"; the top half is Park Tool with Park adjustable clamps. The bottom was someone else's work, they bolted a pipe flange to the base and used a longer pipe to get more height.

[@genXcripple]

I do rebuild these, you bet. Assuming nothing is broken inside, they go back together just fine. I'd leave the Zzyzx as a memory, they're better on the wall. 😂

Thank you Greg, it sounded like in your opening, Greg? I'm getting ready to rebuild my first MTB forks. I'm happy to say I have 2001 Marzocchi Jr T, dual crown. They feel stiff and sticky, so I've been hearing a rebuild may sweeten up the ride to the plush point that I think I'm feeling from my rear suspension, which is shocked with a new X-Fusion O2 rc.

If I can't get the ride I want from my forks would you be someone I could talk to about the right replacement? I've got a 2002 Giant AC Air Lite, that used to have adjustable travel front and rear, and when I got it it had these Marzocchi Jr t's.

[@tylersmith-santana5633]

I've got a DJ 1 from 2002 that came on my torrent. I want to refresh the fork with new oil because it's airy sounding. Are seals recommended during a service like this or can I just clean everything and put it back together with new oil. It's always been stored inside and keep pritty clean

[@ButterSuspension]

Well, those seals are 21 years old now, imagine doing all that work only to have a seal leak a little while later... I'd replace them! Also, if it's an open bath fork, they will always sound airy...

[@tylersmith-santana5633]

Thanks for the reply ya they just sound more than they used to and the top 2 inch of travel has no rebound control. I'll order a seal kit and do it right the first time. Thanks.

Hey ive got an 02 monster t, an 01 jr t and an 00(maybe) mr t...im wondering if its a pretty similiar process? Also any chance you could do a rebuild on a manitou sherman???

Jr T and Mr T should be very similar. Monster T is closer to a moto fork, I think one set of bushings is mounted on the upper legs... I need to make a video for both a Monster and a Sherman...more for the list!

[@Calispeedboi]

What modern shock do you see the most problems from? And what’s the most reliable in your experience?

[@ButterSuspension]

The Rockshox Super Deluxe has been almost completely bombproof for the last few years, I've only seen 3 or 4 fail prematurely and they're always covered under warranty. The current Fox Float X2 has had a ton of problems, especially Trunnion models but they're taking care of those as they arise.

[@Calispeedboi]

@@ButterSuspension does a trunnion design cause problems?

[@ButterSuspension]

@@Calispeedboi it can, if the frame isn't aligned properly. With a regular eyelet, even a slightly wonky frame will still push in the center of the shock. With trunnion, you're relying on tight tolerances to push evenly on both sides of the upper mount. The Float X2 models that have been failing the most have been trunnion; the main damper bodies weren't strong enough to handle off kilter loading and they'd get creased, cracking on the inside of the damper tube.

[@komoonkh]

My rebound setting knob, that itty bitty thing on the top fell off. Is there any way to set the rebound other than this?

If you have the same year fork as these, the knobs are for spring preload. The rebound adjustment takes a small flat head screwdriver and that adjuster is inside the preload knob.

[@ButterSuspension]

Great question. You have to compare apples to apples, or more specifically, good years to good years. The first generations of Bombers were made in Italy; super robust, simple moto designs, open bath/coil spring tech. Then they got more popular, decided to offer more models, different price points, more features, so they started to outsource some models to Suntour. The base model Honda Civic and the Acura NSX are both technically "Hondas"; Not all Bombers are the same, even if they have the same sticker.

[@LawrenceMacMacster]

I rode this exact for for a long time, it was on my Jamis then my brodie and died on a heavily upgraded 2004 Norco sasquatch that burned in a car fire. Fond memories, the birth of freestyle for me 🎉

[@billytwowillies]

I wonder why they couldn't put a mark on the inside of the fork at 45mm so you know the correct oil level?

[@ButterSuspension]

Adding one more step to the manufacturing process adds cost, putting the info in a service manual only has to be done once. But yeah, that would be neat!

I purchased a 2002 mxc bomber to put on a 2002 Marin Alpine Trail. Any advice for tuning? Higher VI, lower psi or lower VI, higher psi. I'm leaning towards lower VI and higher psi for better small bump compliance?

[@ButterSuspension]

Older Bombers are somewhat tuneable but you only have so much to work with. Lower psi will always get you better small bump but at the sacrifice of bottoming resistance. You could add a little more oil to make the air chamber smaller but again you only have so much room since there has to be a certain volume of air to allow the fork to compress fully. On these simpler models the VI is usually only changed to help speed up or slow down the damping if you can get what you need from the adjuster.

[@isaacturner7805]

That oil height syringe is awesome! I serviced my z150 about a year ago and this video has taught me a few things I did wrong with the oil height. I've got a travel extension kit for my '03 DJ1 which is the next challenge, but I'm glad I saw this first for the oil height stuff. A quick question though, do you have any tips for removing the top cap from the damper rods in the newer forks (like post '03, the 32mm stantion ones) that have the nut inside the spring? I dont have a spring compressor and im a bit worried that I'll damage something just jamming an open ended spanner in there... Thanks for the video mate, enjoyable and informative 🙂

[@ButterSuspension]

I just jam a spanner in there... carefully. 🤣 The springs aren't super hard to push down to make room for the spanner but it's definitely a clumsy operation.

[@whitesparrow3000]

Greg, can you service a Rockshox Mag 21 (SL Ti) for early-to-mid 90's? They seem gosh darn technical especially removing the seals unless you pump up the fork and literally use air to blow off the fork legs which creates a type of lethal weapon that could cause serious harm even massive holes in your garage wall. There's maybe 2 videos on KZbin of people who took the challenge. We've been looking for ways to remove the seals with more finesse and less explosiveness. Be curious to see you take on the challenge of this notorious early air fork killer!

[@ButterSuspension]

I can rebuild those! I have the tools from back when I rode a Mag21, I can't imagine using air pressure to get them apart! I'll add it to the list, it keeps growing!

[@whitesparrow3000]

@Butter Suspension Awesome! Look forward to seeing your take on the notorious Mag 21 series forks. Here's a video of @ATBOY servicing the Mag 21's. No seal puller so gotta blow off the legs (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn3Qg2adabp5bck). We're both discussing methods of doing this with readily-available modern tools to pull the seals & service the fork without endangering innocent bystanders lol. Be nice to see how you do it and if you can do it in a way we could all reproduce at home (?) Amazing channel BTW!

[@ButterSuspension]

Very similar overall. Still open bath, still coil springs, but it may take a slightly different seal kit. I'd check in with Dr.Zocchi about getting the correct kit and tools.

[@peglor]

Marzocchi bankrupting themselves by outsourcing to Suntour is by far the single saddest event in MTB component history. For decades Marzocchi kept Rockshox, Manitou and Fox, when they showed up, honest by showing that suspension didn't have to be unreliable, delicate overpriced crap. Without the constraints that reliable Marzocchis placed on them (MTB forums in the 90s and early 2000s almost universally gave Rockshox, Fox and Manitou service instructions as: Remove fork, throw in bin, fit Marzocchi), we've rapidly gone to the era of quite normal forks being $1000 and service intervals in the 20-30 hour range rather than being literal fit and forget for the open bath era Marzocchi forks. I suspect most people would be happy to pedal another few hundred grams of fork around when the payout was no servicing requirements at all. X-Fusion looked like they might be a worthy successor to Marzocchi when they first showed up, with their pricing being less outrageous, easy travel adjustment so one fork could suit many customers and all metal internals, but their fork bushings didn't last at all and they refused to sell them separately, so it was cheaper for me to buy a Rockshox than ship the fork to their nearest service center (None in my country) to replace the bushings, so that's what I did. The one that really boils my piss is the way a large cohort of Rockshox forks develop a load of bushing play relatively soon after buying, but it can be fixed by tapping the bushings down further into the leg as they sit on a cone, but the tools to do it are not available anywhere I can find, so I'm left either paying most of the price of the fork to ship it to be serviced or designing and building my own bushing setting tools. I'd love to see the bushing setting process for Rockshox forks covered on the channel.

I just got bushing tools a while back, if a job comes through I'll try to make a video.
