Marzocchi 66 ATA

A really short post today - oddly enough with it being summer I'm out riding a bit more than I am fixing things...


So today its just a few links to resources for Marzocchi's big air sprung freeride fork.


Basic setup

Just remember: PAR chamber must be 15psi more than main air chamber.

DIY Protection

Or, how to cover your delicate parts with rubber, fnar.

Sun Ringle Estate rims for the On One Max hubs

Budget Summer Season Wheels

Rims. Round, with lots of holes in them for spokes. What else do you need to know?

Question is, on the somewhat limited RideItFixIt budget, could I scrape together enough cash to lace some appropriate rims to the On One hubs I recently reviewed and get them out on the trail?

Well, obviously I could, or this would be a
very short post.
And just what was the bare minimum cost for which I could put together a set of wheels, including tyres and cassette?
