I have just recently gotten into the sport. I finally decided on a morewood shova LT. I bought a 06 travis triple intrinsic a few days ago. I have been reading day in a day out on the net to find some info ion this fork. Seems like some like it some don't, but i got a smokin deal. Just was wondering if anyone had any kind of tips or tricks about a rebuild or oil weights. I already emailed Enduro for forks seals and bushings. They won't have them till december. Where should i get a seal, oil ring, and bushing kit from? What kind of oil? what weight for a 135lb rider?

Wrong place to put this?

You can't really rebuild them unless you know exactly what you are doing because the cartridges are sealed. The lowers take about 90ccs in each leg of zero weight synthetic motor oil (ala Mobile One synthetic).

These forks feel really, really good if the cartridge doesn't blow, which they are likely to do. Store the bike up-side down occasionally and this will help the seals and bushings to stay nice a lubed.

If you blow the cartridge, contact Manitou (HB Suspension) and have them send you a TPC+ cart. They feel pretty darn good too.

The left fork seal is blown at the stanchion. The inside lower leg O-ring on the Intrinsic side needs to be replaced. Just seems like one seal and bushing. The intrinsic is still functioning good, I got the whole fork for $50 bucks. Just want to get the oil to stay in it so i can ride on it.

Manitou would have those parts.

I can solve your problem by buying the fork from you. $75? That's 50% profit for you.

HB is moving. Not sure if they've got anything/anyone established in Wi for the suspension dept. I know they have 2-3 peeps left in Valencia. One of them will be contracted as the technical laiason based out of SoCal. But I think he'll be more geared towards assisting dealers and such.

I'd buy your clapped out fork cuz I have all the parts and know how to get it up and running. But.... anyways, good luck.

LOL now that is funny stuff. $75 dollars! 50% profit... I got a local guy that knows a tech rebuilding the whole thing for under 100 bucks. I already sent it off. Ozzer your running a travis now? What year?
