I would think oil coming out of a fork is a bad sign…

Don't know much about Manitou though. But def get it looked at!

well the oil isn't a problem, manitous just leek oil occasionally. My friend has a sherman and his leaks a little almost all the time. There's no worry, that's just the tou's work

soundsystem gonna bring me back up! It's one thing that I can depend on…

james is the MAN! i called the guy today to inquire about a softer spring and he's totally a cool guy to talk to. i asked him if i could watch him service a fork and he said it's ok. :D learn from the best!
