Manitou ELASTOMERS, Genuine Sealed packet

[elite504]

Shameless plug for myself, but I shall justify!
I told a few people I'd be getting these in from the US, and they have arrived. I THINK I spoke to all the people who were after these, but I lost my list (like in idiot ), so basically, here they are for those who still need.
Some of the popular ones I have ONE packet left, a few more of the 'less popular' durometers, so anyway, here you go:

Can't see Ebay at work - got any for Man 3/Comps?

 

[elite504]

Hey mate, yup, both for 3 (4mm hole) and Comp (long, no hole, various durometers).

 

[South Bound]

lol, now I am confused - I was told the Comp was a re-badged M3 from the previous year!

 

[elite504]

Pretty sure the re-badged 3 was the MAGNUM. Black sliders, slightly different bridge (pocketed rather than slotted), and gold rather than black stanchions.
Either way, pull the elastomers out the top, tell me what you have, and I'll tell you if I can help,
cheers fella,

...pull the elastomers out the top...

:shock: I will never get them back together again :shock:

Thanks mate, will have a peek later. Just looking to put some away for the future to be honest - do they last if stored properly?

If they stay sealed in the packet yes. . . and provided you don't use an oild based car-grease on them. . .

OK, I was wrong, mine are the single piece long ones. Has red ones at the moment - presumably they are medium? How different are the other colours?

 

[elite504]

Yes, red is medium. Yellow firm, blue soft, green cold weather/ extra soft.
How much softer?! If I quoted the sring rates would it mean a lot! Best thing to do is suck it and see with a cable tie roun the stanchion. Are you always bottoming, never bttoming or ocassionally bottoming out? And base a decision on that. You can carefully cut 25mm from the bottom of the elastomer and build a hybrid stack (at your own risk). Much longer than that, or if you go too soft for your weight and you can buckle the elastomers over each other and sieze them in the leg.
Hope this helps!

Does not help at all as I have not ridden the things yet! Just tempted to put a set away for the future. I have the ebay addy so will give it a think - thanks mate.
