Drop crown setup

[who...?]

I am buying a set of drop crowns for my 07 marzocchi 888.
I would like to know if i can run a flat crown on the bottom and a drop crown on the top?
Or do i have to run it as eather flat crown top and bottom or drop crown top and bottom?

Cheers matt.

 

[who...?]

Can any one help...?

Wha?!

The lower crown has the steerer tube attached to it, so your question doesn't make sense..

You may want to check out how the forks are assembled, or rephrase your question as I'm unsure you know what you're particularly after. But to answer what I think your question is, you can run a top drop crown with the "flat" lower crown (though I doubt Marzocchi made different ones anyway).

Cheers,
Theo

You can't change the lower crown. Only the top crown is removable, So yes, you can run drop crown top, normal crown bottom. or both normal crown.

Ahh sorry guys. Yeah im buying a top and bottom drop crown as a set and
the bottom one has the steer tube with it.

I want to run a drop crown on the top and a flat crown on the bottom i just was not quiet sure if i could do that or not.
Thanks for the help it was just what i am looking for cheers guys.

Actually the lower crown/steerer is removable and you can purchase something like this, and use your drop crown up top. That what you're after?

Aerial Industries used to make a really good flat crown set up for lower 888s. Probably won't fit the current line though.

Why would you want to do that?

Why would you want to do that?

Me or him?

If it was him, I was curious myself. If it was simply an issue of lowering his bar height, then...

Nah the OP.

Changing the top crown and keeping the same lower crown isn't going to do much... (unless you have an extraordinarily high stack height)
