2016/7/27 16:46:40

The Manitou R7 pro forks are high quality bike wheel forks that give smooth ride with TS air springs. The aluminum steering supports a wheel size of 26 inches with an axle of 9mm. It is a very light weight, yet tough durable for mountain biking. While climbing a steep terrain, riders won't feel pedal bobs. The ride is so smooth, bike riders will have the confidence of going fast on a steep descent. Those who use the forks for touring will find that it works well for small bumps and hops in the road creating a very stable ride and improved traction control in turning. The quality is so good, owners will find that these forks require very little maintenance.

Bikes with Manitou R7 pro forks installed are used for the perfect cross country performance experience. They are lightweight to help pedaling the weight of the frame easier. They are just slightly over 3 lbs. in weight. There are no V-brake mounts. Disc brakes can be installed with the post mounts. The post bosses come machined flat with no paint for easy mounting of the brakes. The controls are intuitive and so easy that a rider's gloves can remain on. The Manitou R7 pro forks can be adjusted for type of ride by providing independent compression and rebound controls.

The installation of Manitou R7 pro forks is straight forward and intuitive. Most anyone can install the forks with little effort. The old front forks are removed as an entire assembly. Mark the Manitou R7 Pro Forks with the steering tube length taken from the old fork using a felt tip pen. Cut the steering tube to the correct length with a plumber's pipe cutter for a smooth even cut. Next, remove the burrs and don't forget to install a fresh start nut.

The important part of the installation is measuring the steering tube length and using a plumberâs pipe cutter to make an even smooth cut. The precision measurement ensures that the fork is custom cut to the frame of the bike it is being installed on. The fork is designed to be custom installed on a variety of frames that support touring and mountain biking.


The Manitou R7 pro forks are then set up with the right compression and then rebound. The adjustment is based on the user's weight and how the ride will be conducted. A bike used for more touring will have less of a sag as the compression and rebound won't be as hard as mountain biking. If the ride is more for off path mountain riding, then the compression and rebound by setting up setting the sag. The sag is the amount the forks will compress must support the weight of the rider without bottoming out. On the other hand, the rebound should be as hard as it jumps up the bike causing a temporary loss in traction. If the compression and rebound are set properly, then the front steering will have firm control of the road or path.
