Replacing and Fabrication of Drop-Off Clamp

I had this problem once that as I tighten my clamp on my drop-off, there was a strange crack sound, I tried to check it thoroughly, then I saw that there was a damage, specifically it had a crack. It was not intentional to over tighten because I used a torque wrench, I therefore conclude that it was the weak point of Marzocchi drop- off triple.

Don’t worry there’s a way…



I chose this unknown metal but it’s durable and hard, black in color. When I asked them what kind of material it was they said it is the metal used in rear SUV or Van suspension, they call it “Leaf Spring” or muwelye in tagalog (Look like a flatbar). I didn’t bore a thread inside the fabricated clamp instead I used nut & bolt.


I went to a screw shop to buy this 5mm screw w/nut…

See the difference of the two clamps….. The black is fabricated the silver is the original.


Spray it with Epoxy paint….



And let it Dry….


Voila! You PIMP my ride……!
