[Closed] Fork people - Manitou travel spacer

I've a set of Manitou Machete forks currently at 120mm. I want to shorten them to 100mm. I know spacers exist as they are referenced in the tech doc but I cannot find one for sale. I done the obvious of contacting UK importer and Manitou but no joy yet. So does anyone either have one of theses spacers (I saw a brand new set for sale on here last week that had it), know where to get one or know if similar spacers like the older (2010ish era) rockshox ones will fit?

Is it not the same as the Mattoc, where you move the existing spacer?

I don't think so jamesoz. There is definitely a spacer included in the box. The adjustment charts don't seem to show the spacer being moved.

Thanks @kimbers, I will try and work out if they will fit and drop you a PM.

I’ve got ones from my Mattocks if that’s any use. Came in the box.

@jkomo, I'll drop you a message when I can get on a pc. If it looks like this then will hopefully fit.

Not been able to work out for sure (mattock has larger diameter stanchions).

Page 38 shows the different forks and the configs for travel. pro is different to the comp and expert as the pro has ISO air rather than TS

@jkomo I don't suppose you still have the Mattoc spacers? I am looking for some too!
