'04 Dirt Jumpers and dimension hubs

[chico DH]

hey all

i've got an '04 Dirt Jumper 1 heading my way and it's my first time with a 20mm axle. i wanted to get the marzocchi hub to go with it becuase i get them at cost but they only make 32h hubs and the rim i'm using is 36. so i decided on another cheap hub made by dimension because i'm kinda pressed for cash and front hubs aren't worth spending big bucks for.

anyone have experience with either product? i'd like to know how much heavier/stiffer the '04 DJs are compared to last year. and i haven't been able to find any feedback on these hubs.

I have an "03 dj1 with a hadley 20mil hub and it wrks great. I have never heard of demension are they a new company?
My o3 dj1 is light compared to the o4s. in 04 marzocchi went to cromo sanctions and the fork comes out weighing like 7. something pounds! I cant believe it a 7 pound sc fork!

damn. i knew the steel was gonna make it a pig. 2 more pounds than a z1 i think. guess i'll just have to get used to it :]


an '03 would suit me fine but when you can get an '04 for the same price as a closeout '03, why not?
