What: 400lbs x 2.5in spring
Price range/Willing to Pay: What its worth??
Location: Wollongong
Extra Info: The spring has to fit into a six way manitou swinger. Currently has a 450 x 2.5 spring installed. Willing to swap if interested or just buy straight out.

I have a 400x 2.75 that was taken out of a sixway swinger, don't know if it will fit but it is yours posted for $45. It's overall length is 160mm.

do u have any idea how i could tell, like there looks like there is enough room but can u swap lengths like that?

[MTB11R]

How long is your current spring?
How much thread do you have left when the spring retaining ring first hits it?
You can use a longer spring if it will fit in, just not the other way around.

Yeah i don't know, the spring i have is about 135mm. 160mm goes all the way to the top of the thread. It may fit if its compressed slightly when putting in or if the shock can be lenghten slightly when out of the bike but i don't want to risk it.

[MTB11R]

I didn't think it would be that much bigger, but your right better not to risk it.
