Hi all,
I have 2 sets of forks for sale.

Manitou Xvert triple clamp in blue - can't remember the model.
Very good condition.
Steerer size needs confirming
Just serviced ( full strip down,clean,lube,oil refill in dampers).
Seals in great condition.
Lowers are in good condition as well.
There is a chip in the left stanchion I think, but it's right at the top and hasn't affected the wipers.

Can take v brake or disc. No v brake bosses though.
You may need to pump some lube into the lowers though. I did treat them to some stendecs grease, but not a lot!

Bought used, but only taken them out once myself. Nice and plush. All working fine.
Star nut fitted. Doesn't include headset bits or crown race in pictures.

Manitou Xvert - not triple clamp and not sure on model either, will update later once confirmed.

Orange lowers, great condition. Serviced as well (full strip down, clean, lube, oil in dampers).
No marks to stanchions. Seals in good condition.
Steerer is 200mm I think
Nice and plush. Lots of stendecs grease in these ones!
The only problem, if it even exists as I'm not sure how to tell, is that the bushes may be worn in the lowers. Last time these were ridden were years ago, and when brakes were applied, there was a bit of wobble???
Not ridden since. Were well looked after, wiped after every ride.
Sale includes some enduro seals/wipers. Star nut fitted.

Steerer sizes need to be confirmed.

info on the wobble - ive only used V brakes on these, so it may have been a symptom of them.
the wobble wasnt severe (think i even posted on here about it years ago), but advice pointed toward the bushes.
not sure how to confirm this as upon inspection of the lowers, the bushes look ok.
also, one slight niggle is that since assembling these Xvert(orange)forks, i cant tighten up the TPC leg allen bolt...think there is a nack to it, but i just havent bothered figuring it out since i dont use them!

here are some older related threads that show some more detailed images and info:
