Need help - Manitou Swinger 3-way Shock

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi Guys, sorry this is a bit of a blast from the past. I'm wondering if you could cast your memories back.

I've picked up a Manitou Swinger 3-way secondhand for my 2004/5 Jekyll 800. Currently fitted with a Fox float RL. I've not yet mounted it to the bike.

Shorter Stem

im thinking of changing my stem to a much shorter one. Broke my arm and now doesnt straighten, so i cant grab the bars comfortably. I've heard it increases the handling.

Is this true? any other advantages or disadvantages?

Update on Tees

A quick update on tees.

Well, the order is a little complicated but have now got some pricing and they are all under 30 bucks (even the LS), for tee without a back print think it will be 23-ish.

There is a slight problem though in that not everyone filled in the colours for the print. And I think some people can't possibly want what I think they have put in the print.

For example, the vast majority of people who wanted chocolate shirt have asked for red/black print, which will look nice. Some have asked for red/white and some for even blue/white. On chocolate - yerch!

Ay Up delivery...

Hi Guys

When you guys have ordered lights from Ay Up, how long does it usually take? I ordered a set a week ago and hoped they would be here by now. I've tried emailing and phoning to ask if they can tell me when to expect them but no reply so far. It's all probably ok but I'm just concerned in case there has been some delivery problem.

Any thoughts ?

Advice wanted- Bike trailer for kids

I was wondering if there were any experts on bike trailers out in Nobland. A mate is looking at getting something that would fit 2 kids and enable him to have a reasonable ride on a bike path or quiet roads. Any ideas on quality products or what to watch out for would be great. He has a Scott Reflex full susser. Thanks Sly
