for anyone..
I think i can sell and upgrade my 05 drop-off tripple for the same as i could buy a new 04 jr.t
Would this be worthwile considering i can come out even or possibly ahead?
I know buck doesnt like the jr.t but im just looking for an upgrade over the air assist only drop-off tripple.
thanks

b.Hahahaha, I don't like it b/c it broke on me TWICE in one year!!!! I didn't say it wasn't a good budget fork though! Marz took super good care of me though, and I am now rolling on a 888...:cool:
Actually the drop off triple is the equivelent(sp?) of a '04-'05 JrT just that it is an OEM only part. (someone correct me if I am wrong) A better idea would be to buy the cartridges for a Super T and changes 'em out then you have a super t, and cartridges are only $100...think about it :cool:

Hey Ben,
Well, QBP could do it. I'm sure someone at one of the erik's bike shops could do it too, to get the cartridges go to the shop you bought the bike from and ask to have them order you one up. Umm, I would be sure to give a Marz a call and make sure it is still do able...here is the number 1 661 257 6630. They can give a firm price and any product numbers and crap you may need.

Another option is to look for a new '03 Super T from a discount online shop. The '03 still used 2 identical cartridges in each leg and is much more plush in higher speed conditions. In '04 they switched to ssv in one leg which took away some of the performance. I know a few guys that swapped out the ssv system in one leg for the hscv cartridge and it made a world of difference on the '04 Super Ts. You could probably sell your fork for enough cash to pick up an older new or used '03. Mine is still going strong after 2 years of racing and quite a few big drops/jumps. Just a quick seal cleaning and oil change once a year and it's good to go.
If you just plan to use the bike for riding around on trails or big drops, the Drop Off should perform good. If you are interested in racing, the upgrade will serve you well.
If you do buy new cartridges and need help installing feel free to shoot me an email or pm. I've serviced all of my Zokes with no issues.
