It is like driving a tin can with a tent bolted on, it gets the worst gas millage....12 mpg and there is no room in the trunk. But all the same, it has been across the states 5 times, and got me out of some pretty sticky situations (sand, mud, water and snow, and it does it without complaining)...

New Shocks and a test ride So the Manitou Comps are fitted and I have replaced the elastomers which had basically melted with Mr Wings Springs (soft) and I am very happy.... I was worried that they would have the suspension qualities of a pogo stick, but so far so good. Now to find a new set...

New Forks Got them for free from a bike store in Portland, they needed cleaning up and new elastomers ordering, I spent most of my vacation at the beach cleaning the things with brasso..... only to get home and find they dont fit! (short by 15mm)....... does anyone have a steerer that is over 6...

Sorry it has taken so long to reply, all work and no play! Unfortunately they would have been a little too short, so I decided to go down the Manitou route after been given an old shabby pair of Manitou Comps. Spent 2 weeks cleaning and polishing, fitting new springs only to find the Steerer...

Hey, I am after a Manitou 1 1/8 threaded Crown/Steerer that is at least 6 1/2 inches long that would fit Manitou Comp/3/4/5 Shocks. I dont really care what condition they are in, just as long as they can be used. Thanks Awfully!

. This was meant to post to ..... Steerer Tube Swap Shop - shorter for longer! NO SALES!

I have bought a NOS set of mint Rock Shox Indy XC's. Problem being the steerer crown is too short, it currently has a 140mm 1 1/8 tube..... and I really need the 170mm threaded or the 265mm threadless 1 1/8 steerer.

The Steerer length on the existing forks are 6 inches - 152 millimeters

I have inherited this 1996 A1 Rockhopper FS, and from what I can gather it has had several parts replaced along the way. It now has a crack on the bottom bracket shell which I hope can be welded I am also on the lookout for a set of original handlebars as I had to cut off the old bar ends...
