Setting up Marz 44 TST2?
I'm trying to set up a 2009 Marzocchi 44 TST2... 140mm, 26" version. Before I dug up the manual online, I started at 100psi since that's roughly what I've run on other air forks. It was awfully stiff. Dropped it to 75, seemed a bit better. Found the manual, saw the recommended setting was actual 37-52 psi for my 155 lb self. So I tried ~40 psi and I could finally work the fork through some of its travel... but the most I could get out of it was about 70mm. Even stationary, with no weight or load on the bike, there was only 100mm of stanchion exposed...wtf? So I bump the pressure back up to 100psi out of curiosity. While pumping, I heard that distinctive "shhhoop" you get when something finally moves in the fork. Now I had about ~150mm of stanchion exposed and if I REALLY worked it, I could get about 80mm of travel.
What is up with this thing? I can have a plush 70mm of travel and reduced ride height or a firm 80mm... help!

Say whaaaa?! A real person? I'll have to give them a call when I return from this biz trip.
Although, fwiw, I did try zero air preload and the result was basically the same as 40 psi... plush, but only about 60-70mm of travel. So if anyone wants to wager a guess to keep me interested until I can get back to the fork and make a phone call.. let's heat it.

I've tried calling the Marzocchi USA number and going through the phone system to the service department on a few separate occasions now without any luck. Is there a super secret phone number I should be using?
