Newbie in need of fork advice

[xizang]

Another question: a lot of forks I'm seeing refer to a drop - usually 9mm. What is this measurement?

Do you mean drop-out? It's the part where the wheel fits. 9mm for standard quick release, then there's a couple of bolt-thru types - 15 & 20mm

:roll: Didn't think of 'drop-out'!!!

And what he said above............

Doh! Yes, drop out is what I meant.

I said it was a dumbass question...

Makes sense now. Just bought a set of 2001 Marzocchi Bombers from a well known auction site.

Looked for Rockshox but none available but thanks for the tip.

Thanks to all again for your help in getting my head round this quickly. Can't wait for my forks to arrive now!
