Thanks a lot ! i'll try to take check that. I'll probably go for shimano, middleburn or stronglight. I have another question though : is it possible to take the middle chainring without removing the whole crank on the m737 ? Will Middleburn chainrings pass as well ?

Thanks : in principle then any compact drive chainring should do the trick, right ? And the M570 is compact drive as well isn't it ? What are middleburn chainrings comparable to LX, XT, XTR ? Is hardcoat or slickshift important for my configuration ?

Hi, I've got a XT M737 crankset and a I would like to change the chainrings at the same time as I change the chain to an 8 speed sram PC 890 and rear sprockets to an Sram PG-850. What can I put to replace the chainrings ? The only 5 arms mtb that I can find for an affordable price seems to...

Hi, I'm looking for elastomers for manitou 4 or any replacement that would be better. I checked the site suspensionforkparts.com but seems a bit expensive for something which was not really tested yet. thanks

Thanks for the offer, but I'd first like to try if I can get something better than the elastomers if possible (and 25£ is a bit expensive and I'm not even in the UK :( ). What about spring + elastomers ? anyone here tried that solution ?

After a bit of research, I noticed that there could be another option : englund total air cartridge. Anyone used it ? knows where to find it ? Last, for those who have springs, is the damping (provided by the rebound elastomer, or another spring, I guess) is sufficient ?

Hi, the elastomers of my manitou 4 are mostly dead. :( Since it is quite difficult to get new ones, I'm thinking about replacing them with springs like those that can be ordered from the US on ebay. Does anyone knows the exact dimensions and characteristics of the springs I should use ...

Thanks ! I already did, and they already sent it to me !!! to be honest, I did not expect much from my mail and I am reallly impressed about such a customer support !

yes, thanks a lot. That means that there might be no spring at all inside ? And turning the caps does not regulate anything ? What kind of grease should I use ?

Hi everyone, I aquired a Wilier MTB with manitou 4 fork. I am almost a complete beginner in MTBs maintenance so I would need a little help. The first thing I want to check is the fork : a manitou 4. -Does anyone knows where to find the manual on the web ? -Do I need any special...
