nice! looks like marzocchi is finally stepping up as they have some competition.
2004 truvative luftalarm street/dj cranks $100 OBO.
Front XT 9mm hub $45 OBO
Rear Deore hub with great SS set up + 10mm rear axel - $50 OBO
6" hayes roter $10
this fork isn't a step up in raw performance, it's a really inespensive fork for recreational freeride bikes.

Isn't this one assembled in Taiwan?
Sounds like a decent fork to me…
Pippen, is it the standard axle only, or 20mm
because i saw a pic of the 20mm ?
Is the 888 confirmed to be 35mm? Also, have you guys heard anything on availabillity?

the oem catologue says that they're 35mm aluminum. it doesn't state the alloy or finish.
they will be available in late oct or early january depending on how it goes.

sounds like an idea hardtail fork if it had 20mm
but the 888 is marzs most hyped arrival in a long while… i hope it lives up

The are 35mm. The stanchions are also farther apart than the Super T.

03 was a huge improvement. No more snapping stanchions on daily basis with the SC forks. DC Forks got stiffer and stronger. No more snapped arches.
Now with 04, they're fixing the tire clearance on the arches, they're fixing the cracked SC issue by using steel, they've made the DC crowns full bolt again, and they're filling the gap in their lineup with the 888.
