HELP! Identify These Air Forks On A Nishiki Colorado Cunningham Design
 
7 Attachment(s)
Greetings, I'm new to the forum and I need some help. I recently bought a Used Nishiki Colorado Cunningham Design Bike. The bike serial number has only Five Digits. I'm trying do find out the Make & Model of the Air Shocks so I can get a seal kit for them. The shock shaft is 24 mm in diameter & the serial number on them is 115626317. What happens is the with leak down on air & a little oil. I have not taken one apart to see if it's simple O-Rings I need to replace of more complicated seals I need to retain the air. When I first got the bike the retaining caps were loose showing no maintenance. I tightened them and the oil leakage stopped but it still has a Slow air leak. I checked the Schrader Valves and they are not leaking. Any help you can give will be Greatly Appreciated. Thank In Advance For The Help....

Marzocchi, probably XC300 or similar from the early to mid 90's, they were basic/bottom of the line forks BITD, equivalent to RS Quadra 5's.

Superseded by the Bomber series, which is still going today. Chances of getting spares now is pretty remote, if your steerer is 1 1/8th", would look at replacing with a more modern fork.

Marzoochi are my memory too. Over the years there have been various shock repair/tuners who have invested in old stock repair parts that might still be able to help these forks. Hippie Tech Suspension | Suspension Tuning and Repair Is one that I have referred in the past with good feedback. Andy.
