  1. OK, so as it turns out, I don't have one lined up after all. I realize I can get them from
    marzocchi, but the $160.00 price tag is a big hard to swallow right now. Somebody is selling new old
    stock crowns from Rock Shox Mag 20/30 on ebay, and they look about the same, two pinch bolt on
    either side. I know I am streching, becuast the distance between the forks is probably not the same,
    and the same is probably true of the diamater. Does anybody know if this will work? or do I gotta
    just bite the bullet?

    If you want ANY future warranty consideration from Marzocchi DO NOT DO THE ABOVE ROCKSUX IDEA. Bite
    the bullet.

    I would think you'd run into severe organ rejection issues with this transplant combo. I'd go with
    the Marz crown.

    I just had my LBS order the Marz crown, $160.00 WHEW! Sure hope it doesn't break again for a while.
    Thanks for the input.

    Pretty sure a Mag 20 had 25.4mm stanchions so no chance it would fit anyway.

    Early Judys and some Manitous both had roughly 28.6mm stanchions and the same leg spacing so
    people used to dork around with the crowns, but in this modern press-fit age hardly anyone does
    this anymore.
