    I just bought a 2005 Specialized SJ bike for for my daughter to ride and the front fork is a 100 mm travel Manitou Black Elite that is pretty shot and in need of a rebuild. Does anyone know of a local shop that works on Manitou? Does Drake rebuild these?

    Oldskool I rebuilt a 12 year old Manitou SX fork yesterday came out pretty good its quite a bit diffent then your fork. But what I was getting at is I bought a big bottle of oil for the job and have alot left rock shox 5wt so if you need some I can let you have as much as you need. Make sure to take pic's it always helps with the order in which things go if it is apart longer than anticipated.

    Thats super cool of you, I will probably be riding in the Santa Anas Saturday morning (either from Cooks or Blackstar) and I see you live in Orange, let me know if there is a way we can hook up and do the exchange.
