Re:

I have a 95 ish Muni Mula and the Marzocchi XCR'S are knackered. I bought some Rockshox Revelations before thinking about it but don't think I can use them. Any ideas? Thanks

Re:

Thr fact its likely to be 15mm thru axle can be accomodated with a new wheel, as xan it being disc only, but at 140mm they will be WAY too long for the frame geometry and the tappered steerer even more of a problem

Unless it has none of those features in which case I'm talking shite

Re:

Is it worth fixing XCR'S or finding bomber's, or something else?

Restored 1994 Fire Mountain, at the top of the Rock of Gibraltar.

I have a dream, restored my Kona 1995 as I always idealized, tuning kona cinder cone 1995 -, 22 years pass and remains so current, was one of the best bikes I have had until today.
