Fenders to Manitou
Hi guys,
I have a question on mudguards for Manitou forks. I have Manitou Black Elite 80/100 and want to attach a fender. No other company besides SKS manufactures any special model for Manitou. Please advise which mudguards models fit to my fork. Primarily I am interested in THE and Mud Machine but also will appreciate information on other manufacturers.
Cheers

Are you speaking specifically about the 1.5" steerer tube?
You can send THE an e-mail and they are now producing an insert to fit the new standard, and also Cannondale Lefty's. (At least that's what they said when I called them)
These will probably be special order items and may be a bit of hassle in Russia.

Wait, you're talking about a Black Elite. THE fenders should work just fine with that fork.
Do you not like THE fenders? I just bought one and it works pretty well.

This is the one I just received:
THE Fender
There is a rubber insert with a screw that you push into the bottom of the steerer tube. Really easy install. Took a total of about 3 minutes.

Hello, a2psyklnut!
Big thanks!
It's really a great deal of fenders on Pricepoint. Unfortunately the color is only yellow
My Tomac 98 needs either black or red 
I have just measured inner diameter of the steerer tube of my fork and it is a bit less than 1" :-\ For which steerer tubes diameters THE manufactures standard inserts?
I did not quite understand should I order separately the fender for instance at pricepoint and additionally an insert from THE? It means that except THE nobody
Sells sets for Manitou. Am I right?
As a matter of fact I like THE I think that THE and Mud Machine are the best fenders among available but I want more options.
Cheers
