Can I get more rebound damping for my non adjustable fork such as Jnr T, 888VF or DJ3?

Yes you can, in many cases we can give you more rebound as part of a standard service by doing a little modification to the rebound damper. Depending on which model and the weight of the spring in the fork the amount of rebound can vary.

My fork bottoms out can I fit stiffer springs?

Many of the Marzocchi models can be fitted with stiffer springs, but some models feature an air assist feature, look under your adjuster caps to see if you have an air valve. If you have this feature you just need to add a little air pressure to help bottoming resistance until the desired firmness is reached. When you add air pressure some forks can become a little sticky and or a noticable increase in top-out can be experienced.

My TST equipped All Mountain fork knocks all the time, is it broken?

Various parts in the forks will allow knocking in use. The rebound, when set at a sufficient speed can knock and can't be rectified, this knock lessens when the rebound is reduced. Also bushings can knock as the forks run less oil than the others. This is all not a problem and will not damage the fork.
