Where can I get elastomers from?

[julesg007]

Morning all,

Probably need to change some elastomers in a pair of forks and was wondering where the best place to get them would be?

Thanks

Stock the widest range of new elastomers, but be aware you'll get whacked with 20% import duty

Re:

Thanks for the info.

Did see this comp but was sort of hoping I might be able to get something this side of the pond!

Yep, I know all about import duty, VAT and customs clearance charges as I have brought over quite a fair amount of bits and pieces and not just bike stuff from the US. It all due to the threashold for paying it, its only £16 or so!

The other option if you want them in 3 days as opossed to 3 weeks is to buy pace ones, if you can use a Stanley knife (they are a little longer than manitou ones and need cutting down) then you can fit them!

Shawnb, tnx for the info. Yep I can use a Stanley knife! What Pace fork elastomer would I need to get?

Pretty sure rc35s are too wide if it's the answer manitou comp you are doing- not sure if the mxcd are smaller diameter.

I might have a link for you but need to check the spec sheet...

The elastomer in my forks has a number of black hard plastic spacers around it so I can at lease get a measurement to see what might fit.

Without wishing to state the obvious here / insult your intelligence
Elastomers compress with age so what you measure today is going to a lot shorter in stack height to what they were originally.

Some clever dude probably knows the stack height when new.
