How much air in rear Marzocchi shocks for Pantahs

Post by Panta600 »

Folks,
could anybody supply information on how much air (max.) is required in Marzocchi rear shockers for a Pantah?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi,

I believe marzochhi stradas take 28 lbs. This should be on the sticker around the valve.

Cheers
Dave

I use a hand pump to pump it up a little too hard. Then check pressure with a digital pressure gauge, then check it again. This will give you the amount of air that escapes when you check it. Add that amount to the 28psi and thats the pressure you should aim for. Theoretically that should bring it to 28psi AFTER you`ve checked it. Works on mine.
