Catastrophe has struck
Went to service this new to me Manitou circus from 2013 and found the rebound damper rod threaded portion was snapped in half.
Tried to thread it into the fork to free the shaft so I could go about the service but Now this mfer is stuck as shit.
In the picture you can see the little silver line where it had broken.
What do you think I should do boys? Clearly when I all comes apart I’ll need a few new parts.
Thanks

Question for the knowledgeable and the tinkerers
Got my first dirt jump bike and the fork does not seem to be in good health.
Needs a lot of psi to make it remotely stiff and it kinda just feels like shit.
I’m no stranger to working on bikes but just know nothing about dirt jumpers and their specific parts.
Are the dampers in circuses relatively reliable and serviceable?
And any tips or things I should know before tearing this jawn apart would be appreciated

I know nothing
What's up, guys!
tried out my buddies Kendema and started to land tricks, and it was mad fun. so im Looking to get my first one, and I've been going through here trying to figure out what's the best beginner kendema.
Learning that there are a bunch of paint styles and string length, and other technicalities, and I'm a bit lost, honestly.
What's a good suggestion for a first? Maybe something sticky so the learning curve isn't so punishing?
also im in Canada. I have Amazon Prime, so that's an option, but buying from somewhere else would be nicer
Thanks, everyone
