each to there own, but the i have to say that marzocchi do warranty forks that have been raced, firstly it would be utter bullshit if they didn't warranty something that broke doing what it should do (these fork are made for riding hard and racing are they not?) and secondly i had some 07 66s before the 888 and one of the cartridges wasn't working like it should (and i did race with the 66 fork) and they just took it back and fixed it straight away and it was fine after that, they weren't even bothered that they where raced or abused or anything as that's what there made for and why they cost what they do.
