    Old Manitou fork

    I have a Manitou something on my commuter bike, it's grey. 150mm travel, with a lever on the bars to adjust the travel, 110x20 axle, 1.25 straight steerer. I have no Idea what it is or how old it is. Today it shit the bed and collapsed and would not stay up, I put some air in it and it will get me home but it leaks and is fuct. So I either need to know what it is to rebuild it or toss it in the trash and get something else (and probably anew wheel because, 110x20.) I might have a QR wheel at home.

    Failing identification of this thing does anyone have a fork kicking around that would work, steer tube length needs to be min 18cm (about 7")

    I hopped on my bike to go home and it bottomed out and stayed there. I threw a few wraps of electrical tape on the stanchions to get me home. I stole an ancient bomber off an old Planet X dirt jump bike in the corner of my shop and boom, ready to ride. The front end sits about an inch lower now but I can live with that.

    Know anyone that needs an old fork? Or a 26" wheel with a 110x20mm axle?

    It might be one of Manitou's old dj fork, I think it could be called the Minuteman?
