Hi, as part of the general softening program, I'm now moving onto my non-standard (I think) Marzocchis....... I'm presuming that I move the 2 heads on each leg in an anti-clockwise direction, but what about the central little screw?

Cheers

Max

I have a photo,but god knows how to attach it.......

The hexagons adjust the preload (all movement is inside the fork the tops of them don't move up and down)

The central screw is the rebound damping adjuster.

Here's a link to the Marzocchi fork manual: http://www.martinpoll.dk/diverse/marzocchi_forks.pdf

Your Marzocchis look like standard Falco items except the for the colour of the fork tops.
