Hi All,
I am looking to upgrade the Suntour forks that came with my Giant Talon W 2 and after much reading have almost settled on the Manitou Minute Pro (120mm QR 1 1/8) from CRC with the Rock Shox Reba a v close runner up. But having little practical experience with forks except my crappy ol Suntours, I have some questions and just want to make sure it's the right fork for me! I do trail riding.
Do you think this is the right fork for my bike?
Could it be difficult to find someone to service Manitou locally? (Dublin,Ireland)
Are there any official reviews for recent models of the Minute?
What would you go for Manitou or RS?
thanks!

minute is a very good fork - you can service the fork yourself pretty easily
for the money you'll struggle to find a lighter, better fork.
I've got a 2008 minute that sports the ABS+ damper and its not missed a beat.0 -
Thanks for reply POAH. Couldn't find any reviews but it seems everyone who has it rates it highly, so think I will push the button on the order today

no recent reviews for any manitous - probably down to them being an aftermarket supplier rather than OE like fox and rockshox.0
