Hey, a friend of mine just blew his seals and bushings on his 1999 Manitou SX-Ti

I'm wondering if there is a cheap option to replace them... as manitou doesnt really have any, and if they did it'd be far overpriced...


Any suggestions? thanks.

Well i can't be to much help, but how bout he finds like a old sx from the same time period and buys it cheap, maybe one that was broken somehow but the seals are intact, i have a 99 sx r that i will sell him for 30 bucks usd but i don't really feel like finding out if it uses the same seals as his fork, or whatever, but give me the money and i'll send it off, it has been sitting in a box for like 3 or 4 years. It was actually a pretty sweet fork in it's day, it was cheap as hell and flexed a lot but was real smooth.

I think i knew that, well this is what happens when you get a dude who never works on his forks answering your questions.
