I need to service my forks and would rather give it ago myself if it’s not to hard. Has anyone had any experience in servicing a Manitou Marvel pro??

    Not that model but they really are all much of a muchness (I've done Manitou x 2 models and Rockshox x 4 models and a Magura).
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    I was having trouble finding a guide to do this which I have now been pointed in the right direction. I’m just after some where that I can buy the rebuild kit I’d need

    TF Tuned would be my go to for fork service kits but they don't seem to have your fork listed. It may be worth a call to see if they have anything.

    TF Tuned are super helpful. I had my forks and shock done there this year.

    Some things I just don't faff with!

    I want my forks serviced as well (rockshox pike rct3) I really want to try myself but I'm scared of damaging them.

    See my above comment! :lol:

    What I need to do is get a cheap set to practice on.

    Haha yeah that's a good idea. My second child was recently born so money is thin on the ground as it is, if I did something to damage the fork I think I'd curl into a ball and bubble my eyes out!
