johnh Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I have managed to strip down the Marzocchi rear shocks on my bike. Does anyone know if spares (O rings etc) are available and what weight and quantity of oil I should use. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks for the replies, I have found a suspension specialist just up the road from me, who is going to have a look but if he can't help will try the chap on ebay and 5wt oil.

rtm Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Try re-assembling them using a 50/50 mix of brake fluid and suspension oil. Cures most leaking shocks after 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good question! I'd like to hear the answer as well..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
