Title: Manitou Swinger Rear Shock Experiences
Post by: Carbonman1 on June 21, 2007, 07:24:44 am

So now that a few of us have had a chance to beat on these retrofitted Swingers,  What pressures have you settled on for your weight and bike type?

Rear shock, 50 to 70 psi in SPV chamber, 100 or more in main chamber.

According to factory, 50 psi in SPV chamber is minimum to prevent damage to shock.
