So my Manitou Minutes are pretty much well passed their best now. These are on my 2017 Ragley Marley hardtail. Looking to replace them but with them being non-boost it really is limiting my options. Does anyone have any for sale or know of where I could find something similar? Not looking for epic levels of performance and will happily use any manufacturer.
Buy a boost fork and an adapter for your wheel, opens up your options and future proofs you.
Didn't think that was possible. Certainly does open things up if I can do that. Thanks.
Manitou Mattoc's can be lowered, the first Pro versions are great forks and can be had for much less than a lower spec Fox/RS fork.

Will vary depending on brand of your hub, there are some adaptors that are just a longer end cap to push everything 10mm to the disc side, and you (or a bike shop) adjust (dish) the spokes to recentre the wheel, and some are just a 5mm axle spacer each side, and a 5mm spacer and longer bolts to space the disc over also. You should be able to find one that works regardless.
I have some non-boost rekons , pm me if you interested
I have some Nukeproof Neutron wheels. They don't have adapters for going from non-boost to boost.
you can get generic spacers

I've got a set of Marzocchi 350 NCRs to sell. Currently set at 150mm but can be lowered easily with spacers. Full service last year and only 450k since.
Came here to also say find some Mattocs. My new bike has Pike Ultimates and I miss the Mattoc...
If you go for the generic spacer route get a second set of spacers and carry them with you for the time you have to fix a puncture and you drop one of them in the grass. Apart from being a bit fiddly they work well.
Let me know your address if you go down this route, I’ve got a set of spacers in the garage doing nothing, I’ll send them to you if I can find them.
