For Sale Answer MANITOU 2 Elastomers Service Kits - Brand New Sets Available Now!

After having started with the complete MANITOU range and almost every elastomer-based ROCK SHOX in early 2022, I am constantly adding new elastomer-sets to my portfolio.

Brand new elastomer kits for Manitou 2 (and Manitou 1, M-Sport, Manitou R, 700c) retro suspension fork. Manufactured by myself in my own custom shop. I am happy to now finally specialize and focus on retro elastomer kits for front & rear suspensions such as Manitou, Rock Shox, Halson Design, FUNK, VOTEC, Tange, Scott, etc. Several kits and versions will follow. Different styles possible! Compression washers, legs, screws or other parts are not included - you will need to take the original hardware from your fork or simply replace them by normal hardware store items that guarantee the functionality of the fork.

Every elastomer (set) is available in 3 different firm-grades. Soft, standard and hard. Soft is only recommended for kids! The very best choice is the standard-kit (SHORE 60A). For riders between 70kg and 110kg.

All my elastomers are manufactured by hand and made in Germany!

These are (by far) the highest quality kits you can buy in Europe and 100% challenging the renown US counterpart! All European competitors are either more brittle, cut unprofessionally (with blades) with the markings still on each elastomer or show a significantly higher amount of bubbles in the material.

Answer MANITOU II specific sets (8x elastomers) are 46,00 Euros (Feb 2024) + shipping. I do ship EU- and worldwide for 10,50 Euros tracked.

Note: Manitou I design was 6 elastomers total, Manitou II setup (from 1993 onwards) was 8x elastomers. Both setups are interchangeable in these 2 fork models.


Feel free to ask any questions. I recommend PMs if you would like to gather further information or help with your project.

Cheers

Hi,
I was looking into the PM like you suggested but I can't seem to figure out how to send one.
Anyway hopefully this message will reach you :)

A near original Marin indian fire trail from 1993 came in to my possesion recently and it came with the M2 fork.

I have not been able to make time to take it apart, but it feels like the elastomers where removed at some point.
So I'm hoping to buy a new set from you and maybe source the rest from the hardware store.

happy new year :)

Could you send me a message with the details?

Thanks in advance!
