Silicone Springs replacement elastomers for selected forks AND Proflex
IMPORTANT COVID-19 update: due to the recent virus-outbreak packages are either super slow, or I can't send them at all. Please contact me before sending payment to discuss actual status.
Also, sending packages to the UK (and to the rest of the world) has been a lot slower than usual. I am sending out packages as international airmail which for you guys in the UK is equivalent to "1st class signed for". These packages are usually received by anybody in the mainland UK in 5 working days. Now I have packages in Heathrow exchange for weeks. Please understand, this is out of my control, as the items reached the UK in 3 days. Maybe they clean them one-by-one or there is a lack of manpower, or who knows? Just bear in mind: the usual shipping times are not valid anymore. 2 weeks is considered 'good', 3 weeks 'average' and if it's still in transit after 4 weeks, get in touch with me. But please, don't message me 2x a day after 5 days where's your package.
As again: by ordering you are acknowledging that shipping is out of my control once it left my hands at the post office, and I bear no responsibility for you not getting them "in time". The £8 post listed below is an economical shipping method I use. I can send them faster, but that will have its price.
Please note, I am as transparent as it comes when discussing shipping costs. In the end, it's your decision what you prefer. But in this covid-times cheap AND fast is not going to work.
BE SAFE, #STAYHOME

OK, here it is: replacement elastomer* springs for your Manitou's, Judy's, Pace, and many others.
*First things first: it's not an elastomer. What you may have inside your forks are MCU's, microcellular urethane. This is not the same.
It does not absorb oil or grease since it's basically a sort of silicone rubber. That means it will probably outlast your forks. It has similar characteristics to MCU regarding damping and rebound, so soft on startup, spongy during travel, and fairly fast during rebound, but it comes back to the original state faster than MCU. Not coil spring fast, but just not MCU slow. It has been ridden for years now by my friends, and zero failures yet. I have also sold some earlier here, maybe those will chime in and tell their experiences.
They are 'unisize'. That means it will fit a lot of forks. It has been tested on M2, M3, first-gen. Judy, Scott Unitrack, RST 281/381, Tange Struts/ProStruts, and some Pace. Outer diameter is 19mm height is 38mm, inner diameter is 5mm
They come in two flavors,
red = soft,
orange = medium. You can mix them it does not affect pricing.
I am 77kgs and run all soft.
Reference numbers: for Judy's you need 10, for Manitou's (Two, Three, Sport) you need 9 (that's 4,5 per leg, you need to cut one to half) New info: Thanks to fatchancyeti, I can confirm now that for the Manitou Mach 5 you need also 4,5 per leg. Recently I have sold these for Manitou 1's and they require 6 (3 each leg).
Yes, forgot to mention: they could be cut just like elastomers, so if the 38mm in height does not suit your needs you simply cut them with a sharp knife.
Price: £4 per piece if you want to have them one-by-one, or
£30 per fork, just let me know what kind of fork you have. For M1 there is a special price of £20 per fork as it requires only 6 of them.
Shipping: Price is my local post office's actual pricing can be found here
https://www.posta.hu/static/internet/do ... n_2021.pdf Tracked international mail is £9 per set (up to 2-3 sets) inside EU. USA or other non-EU countries shipping is £12,5
Paypal F&F please, or cover costs (4%).
If you see this advertisement months after the opening post then drop me a PM and I will have some available
I also have a production capacity of 500 per week, so if you'd need a larger quantity that's another discussion. Drop me a PM.

EDIT: Now
Proflex elastomers are available too. Please note: this is in the beta phase. Only write if you are aware of that fact and willing to buy them anyhow. PM for details. Some look better than the others, and no, you can't remove the 'dirt' from them, they are caused by the form-separator. There are now two types available, the 2,5" and the 3" tall versions. The newer versions have less residue of form separator, so look much nicer, albeit not 100%
Please check your frame and/or fork for proper stack height. Hardness is "soft" so good up to 80-85kgs
Yes, the first picture shows them installed (so this is not a random google pic):
Newer versions don't look that bad.
