garydwall Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) I'm struggling to figure out where the broken shim is from, it fell out when I released the sealing piston.... I've looked at some drawings but I still don't see? Any advice greatly appreciated. The shim is approx 0.1 mm shim 10mm I.d 20mm o.d.

garydwall Posted January 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Arnoux that is fantastic help thank you very much. I have spent quite some time searching for this information but not realising this great video exists... Seems like I need a bent shim washer.. it makes sense now...

bumpy_ltd Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Quite common for them to go. Forks would feel like they are topping out. The fun part is rebuilding the cartridge without squirting oil all over the workshop. GAS GAS 40mm Marzocchi Forks.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, how is the spring holding up versus using wave washer? Can you provide info on what type of spring you used such as length, diameter, where you bought it, etc.? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydwall Posted February 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 I went back to the washer set up, I used some shim paper and cut out the required size... Seems to be working well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
