Similar Products Used:
Manitou Skareb Super 100
Bike Setup:
Litespeed Obed 99', Manitou Minute MRD 100mm 2009, Chris King Hubs/Headset/Bottom Bracket, Avid BB7 (front) & Avid Black Ops Rim brakes for the rear, XT cranks/cassette/pedals, Sram X9 shifters/derailleur/chain, Thompson stem and post, Mavic rims
Bottom Line:
Just got this fork, one of the first 2009.5 Minute MRDs. VERY, VERY NICE. I hope that Manitou gets back on the map with these forks. I've been riding Manitou for 10 years now and I'm very happy with their products, ease of maintenance, customer service. I'm a xc rider weighing in around 195-205 lbs @ 6'-3". I love the adjustability of this fork. It's plush on the trails, but yet stiff when you need it (that's what she said). Commuting into work nice with the absolute platform. Just wish it had a remote for the AP lever.
