OK, so I have ended up with 2 mountain bikes and am wanting to pick off all the best bits so I have 1 reasonable bike & 1 crap bike (although they will both be very low end).

I have a pair of "Marzocchi Bomber Z-4, 4 inch travel" forks from a 2001 model Norco Bigfoot. They dont have any lockout or preload. I think they were quite decent forks back in 2001??

I also have a pair of 2009 SR Suntour XCT-V2 forks. With preload & lockout.

I know they are both pretty average forks, but which do you recommend I put on the better bike.

Your opinions would be great. Thanks

Unlesd someone can comment that knows these two forks I'd check out mtbr.com.

From my experience there is a big difference in damping performance over these years. Not sure if the Marzocchi could be upgraded internally?
