1980 Montesa 123 Rear Shocks

Featured Replies

I have managed to strip down the Marzocchi rear shocks on my bike. Does anyone know if spares (O rings etc) are available and what weight and quantity of oil I should use.

Cheers

Thanks for the replies, I have found a suspension specialist just up the road from me, who is going to have a look but if he can't help will try the chap on ebay and 5wt oil.

Cheers

Try re-assembling them using a 50/50 mix of brake fluid and suspension oil.

Cures most leaking shocks after 24 hours.

that right there is funny, don't think I will be trying that myself, just curious how many times have you tried this? how long does it last? weeks? years? do you remove the brake fluid after the seals swell enough to stop them from leaking? or just leave the brake fluid in permantly?

That's a good question! I'd like to hear the answer as well.....
