Fork Seals... Marzzochi DJ2

[RoostRider]

anyone know where I can get fork seals for my Marzzochi DJ2?

I don't know exactly what size stanchions that fork had. If they are 30mm I have some Enduro brand wiper/main seal kits in stock at Penn Cycle in Eagan. They are $25. If it's 32mm I don't think I have what you need. BTI sent me two Enduro kits for Marz. labeled 32mm but they are the same as the 30mm kits. I have 32mm Enduro seals for Fox, they look the same and might be interchangable. I would have to check with Enduro first to make sure though.

No go on that. BTI is out of stock on 32mm Marz. wiper seals.:cryin:

Go straight to the source if you can't find them local.

They will send them out right away. If you order three sets, they have been known to wrap them up in a nice T-shirt :D .

Yeah, I actually have gotten two pairs over the past 2 years (for seperate forks), they are a really nice product, I haven't had a problem with either set I have installed.

Glad to here somebody carries them locally too, good to know for emergencies.

I don't have a micrometer handy.... how do I figure out my fork stantion size?.... no manual of course...

Thanks for all the input

What fork do you have and what year? Most are 30mm or 32mm stanchions. You can look it up on the net if you know what year and model.

[Kosk]

Or just wrap a piece of paper around the stantion, mark where the paper meets. That's your circumfrence, lay it flat, carefully measure, then divide by pi (3.14). Convert to mm if you already haven't (1 in = 2.54cm = 25.4mm) to get the diameter. You already know it should come out close to 30mm or 32mm.

The early DJs had 30mm alloy stanchions. The newer ones have 32mm steel stanchions, they usually use a black coating on steel stanchions. I'm not sure what year the change was made. I think the number at Marz. is 661-257-6360. If you call them they might be able to answer your question on the phone. Mr. Nendza might be able to help out here, I hear he is good with suspension forks. Otherwise it might be worth bringing it somewhere to have it measured or borrow a micrometer.
