MANITOU SUSPENSION FORKS WARRANTY INFORMATION CONGRATULATIONS ON CHOOSING THE LATEST IN SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE, A 2005 MANITOU FORK. This fork is fully assembled and ready to be installed onto your bicycle. It comes equipped with a 11/8-inch or 11/2-inch (onepointfive) threadless steerer tube and may also be available in a disc brake only version. A handlebar-mounted reflector must be used for on-road use, which is not included with your fork.
FORK INSTALLATION – DUAL CROWN FORKS 1. Remove the old fork from your bicycle. 2. Measure and cut the steerer tube to fit your bicycle head tube. You can use your old fork as a guide for cutting the steerer tube length. To determine which upper triple clamp your frame will need see Table 5. 3. Remove the headset crown race from the old fork and press onto the fork steerer until the race is seated over the crown. 4. Clean and grease the headset bearings and races. 5.
REBOUND DAMPING ADJUSTMENT Blue rebound adjusters on Manitou forks are located on the bottom of the right fork leg (excluding all DORADO forks). Turning the knob clockwise (as you are looking at the fork from the bottom) increases rebound damping, while turning the knob counterclockwise decreases rebound damping. For all DORADO forks, rebound adjustment is located at the top of the right fork leg.
