What forks does this brace fit...?

Fluffy:

Cheers muchly for that.

Had tried to investigate the 'ticks' but couldn't deduce...!

The one I have here is definitely the wider spaced one with additional 'struts' - same as the silver one in the centre of that pic (but in black, not that that matters of course).

So, it's most likely a 1 / 2 series Manitou - hopefully MM can confirm later for us.

In either case it isn't the RS Mag I understood it to be...

Cheers guys,
BB

33 between bolt holes...but 95 between legs....

Cheers ears...


The plot thickens...

Time to get Pete on the blower...

One moment caller...

MM check you are measuring the 'between legs' the same way as BB, add 33 to the 95 and you're not far off the 133, add half a hole 2 or 3 mm ?

I have a proper pick with the 'ticks' I forgot I had and so did a quick edit. It used to say 'whatever that it'

I cannot find that picture on a websearch just yet and it's not on this computer but me other one.

I did come across this just now though

I think that's the tick there your know...

Can't believe I didn't think of that...!

Yes - I measured between opposing bolts - ie. outer LHS to inner RHS...

That would indeed get us pretty close to 133mm!


So, just need some more measurements off V.1 & V.2 Answer Manis...

Cheers again folks,
BB

I think one of my local bike shops still has a Manitou 2 Brodie brace in its box which never sold...

Andrew:

Would you mind checking to see if it would fit a manitou 3 instead please...?!

Cheers,
BB

I don't know if this may help.
Manitou (1 or 2) on the left and RS on the right.

Appreciate that, thanks.

I think evidence would tend to suggest I have one for a V.1 / V.2 Manitou.

Come V.3 the spacing between legs must have changed, as it won't fit my V.3 forks.

I think the only way forward now is to switch the fork onto the Manitou using a new crown / steerer, and find some more forks (yet again...) for the Rascal to use the brace - ie. some V.2 ideally...

One of these days I'll get these flamin things built...!

Arse!

Cheers all for input, and MM I'm keeping the brace I'm afraid!
