Rear shockers 79 Jota

[rob reznik]

Does anyone what what pressure there should be in the rear shocks (marzocchi 1979 Jota)

2 bar

But do not inflate with tire inflators, which are too powerful and can degrade the membrane, but with an air pump that has a check valve.

The ideal is to inflate with nitrogen (azote). No pressure drop over time, and good resistance of pressure over the miles

really? thats like 30 psi, i seem to remember more like 16-20 psi,

Anyway we used to use a foot pump, count the pumps check with a digital gauge

if your gonna ride it just get used to not having to bother, the air will leak out after 100ks

toul have to ride around it, or get some new shocks
