Marzocchi 45mm Questions

[stay_upright]

OK finally started servicing the forks plus I was going to stiffen up the rebound stacks.

So Q1 - I bought replacement dust seals - oil has been weeping past the seals on both fork - should I be replacing the oil seals as well - I didn't realise the dust seals were not the oil seals but I think in the UK it is common only to replace the dust seals when the forks are leaking a bit...

Q2 - Does the standard spring pre-load tube look like the picture in the manual? The reason I ask is mine looks a lot longer - maybe it has been replaced in the past...? Any measurements for what it should be? I'm guessing mine is about 2" long.

Q3 - Are most people running 90mm oil height, I was using 140mm last time - this was tuned to resist bottoming so maybe I need to go with 90mm but run less preload (if mine is in fact more) and/or reduce stiffness in the compression stack..

Anything else I should be looking for/doing while I've got them apart.

One final thing - I've made a Word document from the PDF manual cutting out all non-english bits and rubbish - the idea being I only need to print 21 pages not 118 would the admin be interested in putting this in the manuals section along with the original manual?
