My Bike

My bike is an old Rocky Mountain Hammer Race with a Marzocchi Bomber Z3 front fork. I had read people cautioning not to use a front hub motor with a fork with aluminum dropouts. The Z3 fork has aluminum dropouts, so I contacted Marzocchi to try to get some information about the fork strength because I planned to mount my hub motor on the front. I never did get any information from them, but I decided in the end that the dropouts looked thick enough, and because the fork had stood up to years of mountain biking and going off of big jumps and drops, I felt it would hold up to the extra weight and torque.
