I've got a tired pair of 05 Manitou Splice Elite. They were OK once upon a time but now they aren’t. Can a service revive even the most weary set of forks?
Finances, or lack of, mean that I can’t replace them but I could just about stand the cost of a service if it was going to make a substantial improvement.
Probably cost you £40 to service yourself, thats if you can still get parts for them.
You could probably get a decent set of oldish marzocchis off ebay, that will perform better and last longer, for about £50.
Wooo... [url= http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PURPLE-MOUNTAIN-BIKE-SUSPENSION-FORKS-26-WHEEL-/320681718679?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item4aaa1eb397 ]purple[/url] ones!
I cant access the link, but I see it contains the words "purple" "cycling" and "hash" so a wooo indeed.
purple and all for £8.95 + a £5 P&P
As per Dave, go for something like this:

or place an ad in the wtd section asking for a set (MX's not MZ's) and don't pay over £50.
AFAIK a full service should have them like new, unless something is seriously worn/broken in which case TF will contact you before going ahead with work. presume other firms do the same.
