Torque levels

As most components on a Marzocchi fork are aluminium it is vital that you use a torque wrench. Extreme damage can be caused by over tightening like a snapped cartridge or the fork could in theory come apart by under-tightening.

As most torque levels are low it is important to get a torque wrench that can read as low as 3-4NM. We recommend the BBB TorqueFix BTL-73 that has a range of 2-14NM.
