The wife has a 2006 orange 5 which came with a manitou Air 3 way swinger shock.

I don't suppose anyone on here knows the shock dimensions?
Or do I have to wait until I get home to measure it? :(

I was thinking that too.

Incidentally, I am looking into this again if anyone knows someone with experience of changing the fluid in a manitou 3 way swinger... or will sell me a new 50 x 190mm air shock for less than a TFTuned service fee ;)

Well give us a shout if you do.
I don't like the manitou.
Its sticky to get it going. She doesn't really notice it. Because she is a week overdue with this baby.

It can be a present to her for all her efforts lately :)
