Rosco,

Sorry to hijack the thread a little - I could do with a set for some Rock Shox and have found these. Not sure if they are what I'm after though - any help would be great. Might just order a set at £2.99 it's not going to break the bank!

I saw the ones you posted but they looked a bit 'plastic-y' for me. [/url]

yes this is all very well but can someone help me iam having a hell of a time trying to get some for manitou forks!!tried chainreaction,winstaley,tried fe tuned shox all my local shops!to no avail!!

I thought the fork bosses would all be the same size, but apparently Manitou's are 10mm whereas RS are 8mm, is that right? anyway have a look through these,

TBH your best bet will be your LBS and see what they have in boxes that might fit.

No part number listed.

i have tried that, to be honest ive hit a brick wall everywhere!!how hard can it be to get one! loads of people must hav manitou forks!!i think the hole is 8mm mayb theres something else i could use instead?

nicklouse

yes that is why the LBS as most broke and went back.

Current distributors are fairly new and Hayes have not owned Manitou for long and Manitou only kept spares for 3 years.

Look on Ebay for broken forks.
