What does it say about them on mtbr.com?
Marzocchi used to be loads better than Rock Shox but now there's very little in it.

I agree; marzocchi used to be much better but rock shox have improved a lot recently and marzocchi have gone down hill a little since moving production to the far east. I had 2 faulty pairs of marzocchi forks last year, the 3rd pair were OK though!

why no Pace forks
The main thing about the Marzocchi's is the weight, if you can put up with that then the performance of them is very good indeed, however having made a similar transition last year (DJ'3 to Pikes) and having ridden a number of forks in both ranges I would say the RockShox are the better perfoming fork.

They are not made any more! DT Swiss bought the rights, and their design is very similar, albeit at a significant cost...

If the vote was one year ago I would have said Marzocchi BUT now I think it's 50:50 - your call!

You can indeed. I've just had my Pace RC41s serviced with new seals all round.

For the high-end 'entry level' fork models, Marzocchi always for me, though that was a few years ago (2005) when I compared. My 2005 MX Bomber Comps have required very little service.
