Hey guys, just contemplating taking out my PAR piston myself, was just after any suggestions to whether or not this is a good idea.
It's starting to really shit me that I cannot get full travel out of my forks, and although I've just accepted that my 66s were shit, I've recently read some glowing reviews of them after the PAR piston has been removed.
I'm just wondering if anyone else on here has done it themselves, or even had it done for them, and if so how difficult was it, what potential for error is there (I'm quite mechanically minded)? Also, I'm only going off what I read here..http://forums.mtbr.com/showpost.php?p=3195344&postcount=350..this is for the 07 forks, I'm assuming the only difference is that, by the sounds of it, the PAR chamber is on the opposite side to the 08 models..again I'm unsure of this however.
If at the end of the day it's gonna be a hassle or I might break shit then I'll just get them to take it out when they service them next, that's if they will do that for me..
So anyone with some feedback about this procedure, it would be great to hear your opinions on this process and the results obtained, stupid me only just found out there is a valve under the ATA cap too (cheers for the great instructions Marzocchi!!), which alleviated my problems a tad, but still is bugging me not getting those other 2 inches!!! I was telling myself I was never gonna buy another one of their products again and stick with RS, but if this yields good results then I might stick with the 'Zokes...for a while...
