Fork air caps

[Steve Minor]

Picked up a barnfind with 35mm Marzocchi forks and air caps. I've never messed with air caps. What's a good psi starting point?

of course that is all subject to the weight and amount of fork oil!

This topic brings to mind an old Ed Hertfelder story from the mid 70's...I'll try to paraphrase:
" Last year everyone was putting air valves in their fork caps to bleed off built-up air pressure in their forks. It was last year's "hot set-up". This year everyone is putting air valves in their fork caps to add air pressure in their fork legs. It's this year's "hot set-up"..."
