Apologies, posted this in the wrong forum so here goes,5 minutes ago
I have a 2002 Kona King Kikapu which, like Trigger’s broom has had everything replaced over time bar the frame. Forks are Marzocchi Marathon S bought new in ‘05, serviced once I think but now don’t seem to hold air, although they seem to work ok, no uncontrolled bouncing, and what bumps they encounter seem to be soaked up well enough. ETA lever to reduce the travel for climbing works ok too. Apparently Marzocchi no longer support these so i have two questions:
Can anybody recommend somewhere that services forks of this vintage, or
What would be similar quality replacement (I imagine second hand as I doubt anyone makes decent 26 forks now)
Thanks in advance
 
That's better ;-)
I like my Fox Floats on my turn of millenium bikes. They usually seep (rather than leak) oil through the top seals, but they keep working.
Maybe Tim at TFTuned https://www.tftuned.com/about-us can help with servicing of your Marathon S forks?
 
@Dr-Zocchi is your man. unlikely any modern "tuner" will touch them, partially because they don't know how. so you'll be on your own to repair.

leaking air is probably just the valve core is loose or filled with poop after 20 odd year.
