1996 Manitou Mach 5 SX. *Condition Update*

[brocklanders023]

Hello all. I've have for sale this set of Manitou Mach 5 SX suss forks. Overall They are in good to very good condition with only a few chips to the paint. The decals down one side are worn but the others are fine. The steerer's nice and long at 220mm and is 1 1/8th. They bounce up and down ok but the rebound is a little slow so they probably need a service (available from this site) or at least a strip down and internal clean. * Turns out the slow rebound was due to the rebound setting. I've found the correct dial and they now rebound as they should. I've stripped them down, cleaned and greased everything so they work really well now so they're ready to be fitted and used.*

Selling because I've decided not to use them on my 'O' and have no other builds planned that they will match. Contact me for more pictures or information.

I'm putting them up at £35 posted but offers are always welcome. First to say they defo want them with an agreed price gets 'em.

Could do with shifting these so any offer considered

Any offers at all type bump? Try me with very cheeky bids, you might get lucky.

Hi J. I might go that cheap but will probably just keep them myself instead tbh. I'll have a think and get back to you.

No worries, can't say I blame ya.

I'll go to £25 if it helps? Frame doesn't warrant anything expensive, but trying to find a cheap fork with 215 + steerer is proving a bit tricky.... :?

Cheers

free bump.....

Have got the same forks and they seem to work well enough, although not wuite sure of the rebound damper / cartridge.

New elastomers can be got from the US of A - google "suspension fork parts" to find them

You don't happen to have the service manaual do you??

Cheers M.
