Awesome Manitou service tutorial
Awesome Manitou service tutorial
Im a big fan of Manitou Forks. I have been on them since the Manitou 2 back in the early 90s. They may not be the best forks, and have had their share of mistakes, and creating frustrations for me. But I love 1) the customer service and 2) the ease in performing basic maintenance, and the tune-ability. Most people hated SPV, but I sort of like it, and all the forum posts on how to devolve it made for some fun.
Working on them is messy for sure and you can poke your eye out or shoot oil across the garge, but for me its one of those therapeutic flow activities like scraping a snowboard.
Here is a great tutorial I found on working on the forks. The guy really goes into details that I never knew.
