REI is Recreational Equipment Inc. There is a store in Northridge, Ca. They have stores across the U.S. and was one of Manitou's biggest distributers.

Northridge REI

Northridge, CA 91324

Ask for the cycle shop mechanic.

On another note, your LBS should be able to help you get a fox or manitou shock spring. Lbs x 2" stroke would be in order. They fit girvin and noleen shocks.
