Oct 20, 2002 12:49 PM | | I may have the opportunity to buy a hardly used Manitou Xvert R Dual Crown. My concern is maintenance. How hard is it to find parts for this fork? I know Rock Shox only supports 2-3 years back. This fork is almost 4 years old, how is Manitou with support? |

It's like the construction of those older xvert forks and other 100mm only differed in their configurations. If it's hardly used then maintenance probably isn't much of an issue anyway, just take it easy when torquing up the rebound damper foot bolt as it is easy to pull the threaded section of the end of the damper rod. BTW I hope it is cheap as there are heaps of closeout forks out there that can do the job of an xvert r better. |
