I got a WC, and i tried the new 888 in MSA, and I'm waiting for the new shiver to come out, but if you ever get a chance to try it you wont regret it, they feel fvcking amazing.
Straight from one of the head guys at Marzocchi USA, "The shiver IS coming back" Its only on paper as of right now, but with the inverted fox showing up at the US open, it will be put in overdrive.
But the small bump compliance on the 888 I tried, just blew my mind, twice as good as my Boxxer WC.
i can safley say one thing about pressure washers dont use the ones that are used to clean tractors and combine harvesters pumping the water out at 200/250 psi that striped everyhting off one of my bikes
I always look forward to dave at the world cups. He was also a great help to a teammate at windham with his great knowledge. I wish we got more of these kind of videos from other team mechanics too. So insightful!
Know what you are saying but that bike comes apart and gets freshly built with grease pretty often. For most folks id say that power washing their bike is not the best thing to do - but so long as you know what you are doing and don't point the nozzle directly into the bearings Its a pretty effective method for stripping nasty sticky mud from your bike.
If you race in europe then you will jetwash your bike at races. If you own a van and have space for a washer then the chances are you'll also have a pressure washer tucked away in the back...it's not ideal but it's necessary.
