well i was just riding down to the shops to get some bread and milk for mum when i heard an odd creaking noise, i looked down and OMGWTFBBQ!!! my forks were busted. they betta warranty them or i'll say bad shit about them on the internet.
not really. i'm not even going to try and get warranty. i got a good 2 years out of these forks and i'm happy with that. they held up to everything i put them through and i guess it's just an excuse to get some rebas. i think for a trail ride type fork they held up really well so i'm just glad i found the crack when i did.
and in case you were wondering i wasn't JRA when it happened, it was on the last day of 5 days riding tathra skatepark, not bad timing hey.

Another typical Marz fork. Iv'e seen too many of these snap in the last few years in the same area. Good luck trying to get Groupe Sportif to warranty them, and even if they do warranty it you will have to pay for freight there & back....bunch of tightarses they are!

the fork is an XC fork. joel here (SHAKA) has abused the cap outta the thing. it has done well to last as long as it has and i'd say he is not actually pissed off about it at all because he KNOWS it isnt made for what he does and he know it was gonna happen sooner or later.
typical marz fork eh? i'm not even gonna bother, i'll let others flame you instead.
