    I have a Manitou Black fork from 2002. It is too soft. Is there
    anything I can do to make it stiffer?

    Help!

    How much sag does it have? What do you weigh?

    I've spent most of my money on mountain biking and windsurfing.
    The rest, I've just wasted.

    Hi

    Thanx for your reply. I weigh 155 lbs. and it sags when I climb about
    an inch.

    You're right in the weight range for most suspension forks. Look into a
    rigid fork or a fork with less travel (80mm or so).
