Hello all,
I have here on my bicycle, a 2003 Manitou Black Comp fork (80mm/100mm) Now, being the second lowest model Black, it does not feature Semi-bath lubrication like its bigger brothers, instead, gets the microlube treatment via the ports behind the arch. It also runs those dust boots. Now, I was wondering, if the lowers were successfully sealed off, could I say convert this said fork to a semi-bath type? I was considering purchasing the Enduro seal kit for the fork and noticed that they have a seal kit which also included oil seals...if the threads holding the lowers on were fully sealed (say, plumbers teflon tape), the Enduro seals fitted and by using some 'top stuff' fork oil, it should work, right? Anyone have anything to add? Am I wasting my time?
The other thing was...what are the chances the microlube ports will leak if I did this?
Thanks in advance...
