I got myself a DJ bike today. Doesn't have brakes though.

Frame: Azonic Steelhead
Cranks: Shimano Deore
Bars: Planet X
Stem: Planet X
Rear rim: Planet X
Front Rim: Alexrims DX32
Front Hub: Planet X
Rear Hub: No name
Fork: Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 3

[DownhillingKing]

What would be a good upgrade on the fork and how much would I be able to get for that fork?

[Capricorn]

upgrade fork? anything from Marzo. Fit and Forget

congrats DHK

[DownhillingKing]

Thinking of something lighter hmmmm?

[Super_mil]

The Marzo Dirt Jumper forks are notorious for locking up (they get stiff and you loose travel). The Suntour rebound cartridge spazzes out. If When that happens PM me and I can pass on how to convert the shock to an open bath system. Did it to my Dirt Jumper 2 and its working perfect now. Pretty simple conversion too.

Congrats on the new bike - enjoy!

Which year marzo's though? I mean that fork is as old as my grand mother, I'm pretty sure it would have locked up by now if it was going to.

[Super_mil]

Mine is a 2007 or 2008.
Well, if it does lock up PM me and I'll send you the 'How to' for converting the fork to open bath.

[DownhillingKing]

If I converted the fork to open bath would it sort out the rattling noise of the springs inside the fork?

The Life of a dirt jumper. . . Fixing punctures. I thinks I have had around 4 pinch flats in the last week.

Nice one Panik. I have the same bike, just not quite as pimped out
It is ready to recieve some new wheels though (front and back ) after some heavy dismounts.

BTW do you notice any variation in chain tension on your single speed set up? I recently converted to SS and there is quite a big change in chain tension through a single rotation of the cranks.

I use this for jumping, so guess it counts
Ill post my Trials bike once iv got my chain tensioner.
