Hey guys sorry for a new thread on an older fork but this is by fair the most helpful forum on the whole internet for info of any kind.
I have bought a pair of 2005 manitou dorados (the ones that came stock on the Giant DH Team) for a retro build I had started off a complete douche bag that lied about the condition they were in.
Im looking at selling them but first they need a service as they are leaking oil everywhere just standing there against the wall. I contacted ManitouTech and they explained this is the last dorado produced by the old manitou and there was never a manual produced for them so could not give me to much information at all.
Ive also trawled the net and not dug up to much information on this particular fork, I live in australia and there are not to many specialist service centres, the one I did contact have never actually came across this fork before.
I know that they would be able to take them apart and have a look but im after any info on fork, seal sizes, improvements thats can be made, the type of damping system inside, travel, know problems, and parts available.
