This thing was a part time job. Sometimes you DON'T get watcha pay for. My overall experience was poor. If you want to warranty it, call their LA office because it takes a week or two for them to bet back to you via email. I really wanted to dig this fork, even after the initial repair, but now I know I'll never risk it and buy Marzocchi again.
Product Used For: 1 Year
Product Strengths:Cheap, reasonably stiff
Product Weaknesses:Not reliable. I warrantied it (beware, warranties are backed up a month or so, as such I paid 50$ for 'rush service) and it still isn't right. I sent it in for two problems, first the thing's travel would back down over a few miles. SO if you want to XC race with it, or got forbit take it on a smoother super D, you'd wind up unwinding the ATA know every quarter of a mile or so. Second, the thing suddenly stopped getting full travel mid ride, losing 80% of its travel. I never got 140 mm of travel anyway, even when I got it back. The ATA thing wasn't fixed, I was loking forward to bombing my trails without having to maintain my travel. Not fixed. They did get me about 120-130mm of travel after warranty. I'm sure eventually they will make it right, but my god this fork is from hell. I'm going to craigslist it, I already forked out for a talas (hurt after spending some for this one) and this talas is a power tool. Knobs aren't crunchy or vague; and they stay put.

Bottom line this is a piece of junk. I wish I had never bought this even at a discounted price. I should have paid the extra for a Fox TALAS. So now I have to have this one repaired hopefully under warranty and I ended up buying an 09 TALAS anyway. Please do not waste your money on this fork. Do not let the cheap price entice you into buying. Bad, bad fork.
Product Used For: 1 Month
Product Strengths:None, It is light weight. But if it does not make it through a one hour ride - weight does not matter.
Product Weaknesses:Will not hold air, spewed oil. After 30 minutes the forks travel was limited.
