Re: Blimey, that's an old post.. What a coincidence that is? I changed the Mag21's also to Manitou 4's and instantly didn't like them. Too firm and short travel.. .So took them off after a week and went back to the Mags. It's only when I refitted the Mags did I realise they came factory fitted...

Manitou, on a Zaskar? Oohh no. :( Gotta be the Mag21's on a Zaskar.......that's the law. :wink:

Have recently won some retro Rockshox parts on ebay from Henry Burton Cycles in Stafford. Mainly Mag20/21 service parts. I went over to Stafford to collect the parts and meet the seller for a chat. Have got to say what a nice chap he was, really helpfull. Told me they have quite a bit of...

Square taper I hope? :wink:

Just out of interest, what size bottom bracket did you end up with for the sensible one? I had to put a 112 in my Sandy to stop the cranks clouting the swinger. :(
