Blew up my fork.
I was riding on my 2 year old Gary Fisher Marlin today when i went down a curb and my Manitou Axel front fork blew up. After that the lockout feature didnt work and the compression doesnt change when I adjust it. Can this fork be rebuilt? If so around how much would that be at my lbs? Thanks

I would advise you to get a new fork.

well the fork didnt really blow up. The right side just kinda blew oil all over my leg and now it clunks when i lift up like during a bunny hop. I really dont have money for a new fork being in college and all but is it posssible to rebuil a fork like this?
