|   Cold Six Comp | Porky
Oct 21, 2002 11:37 AM | | Now that the colder times are upon us, my 2002 manitou six comp fork decides that it doesn't want to work on the cool fall trail rides, although when it is warm inside my house it works perfectlly??? If anyone knows what is happening please tell me! |

| TC is correct, the MCU in the fork is stiffening up... | Squash
