    Speaking of which.....I have a confession to make. When I ordered my Zoke fork, I was under the
    impression that a kit was easily available to convert it to 85mm. I emailed Marzocchi about the
    alleged kit that they advertised on their site. When the guy got back to me, he said there was not
    really a kit, but I could order the parts to convert it to 85mm, for a mere $300 retail. Too much! I
    pointed out that their site was very misleading in that there was a kit to do this. He then offered
    to sell me the goods for dealer cost of $175. Still too much! I told him I'll get back to him on his
    latest offer, that I may have a way to solve my dilema. I cancelled my order for the Marathon S, and
    ordered a Psylo SL instead. Problem solved, as my frame was designed for an 80mm fork.

    *insert boos, and hisses here*

    Um yeah, but you'll burn through an awful lot of bushings and seals on that Pyslo. And after a
    couple years you won't be able to get parts for it at all.

    Bad move.

    I think there's an obvious question: why didn't you just get an 85mm Bomber to begin with?

    Just curious,

    No, that's what you get for joining the ManHood (buying a Manitou fork).

    Hmmm. Between the two Bombers - the one you were looking at, and the one that had the proper travel?
    Which models? There must have been more to it than just the travel difference.
