GUIDE ASSEMBLY
The guide assembly for the stanchions is installed on the slider top
in all models (SHIVER models excluded). The tube is guided inside
the slider by a pilot bushing (1) with an upper bearing support.
Being the pilot bushing very large (92 mm), it offers a wide guiding
surface into the slider for the stanchion tube, so that the fork is very
stiff.
The pilot bushing consists of an outer copper support and an inner
anti-friction coating. As this coating is very thin, maximum care must
be paid not to damage it when disassembling the slider, otherwise
fork stiffness and performance might decrease.
SHIVER complies with M
ARZOCCHI
diagram for cross-country forks.
SHIVER DC: stanchions are guided into the outer slider by two
bushes (A) with a spacer (B) in between.
SHIVER SC: stanchions are guided onto the outer slider by a bush
(C), fitted on the stanchion and a bush (D) fitted on the slider.
Bushes are made of copper and are internally coated with anti-
friction material, which is in contact with the stanchion tube. To
replace them, remove the bushes from slider or stanchion, complete
with plastic spacer, if present.
A washer (2) working as a pilot bushing stopper and seal ring
support is on the pilot bushing.
