Marzocchi Z1 Tune for Mud Maidens Enduro

October last year we gave away a tune for the Mud Maidens Enduro. This week it was claimed.
Alex @alex_the_mxcnt (instagram) sent down her Marzocchi Z1 GRIP damper and we got to work. These are the same as Fox GRIP dampers found in the 34, 36, 38 and 40 forks.

These dampers have the standard problems. They're harsh and lack support. Made worse for #girlswhomtb because they're on the lighter side.
We strip them down, improve the sealing, modify them to solve the harshness issues and reshim them to match the riders weight, bike and riding style.

Tune targets are calculated out to be variations on ones we've test ridden. They have more support than stock but without the harshness. We also match rebound range and shape so you're not fighting an extreme end of adjustment.
It's all dyno tested to 2m/s.

We send them back pre-set with the adjusters where you need them. For the GRIP we set the open position (1/2 turn from closed) to be where you need it. Your next 1/4 turn is extra compression adjustment (i.e pump-track) and the last is lockout.

The average girl who rides has a lot more to gain from suspension tuning than the average guy who rides.
