    03 Manitou Sherman Breakout parts

    Does anyone happen to have one of these laying around with a medium or soft spring set in it? I have spent the last few days fighting local bike shops to order these parts with no luck. I know the shock is a bit dated (probably also considered a beater) but it is already on the bike and will be more than adequate when it is no longer setup for a pizza eater.

    thanks

    Travel? If it's the old 150mm version I may have a medium spring out of a Flick Plus that should work.

    It's the old 132/152 externally adjustable fork

    Can be viewed in the following link

    I've got a local shop that claims to have ordered one but I really have my doubts it will show up. If they do not come through and this appears to be the correct spring what would you like for it?

    Just a couple bucks for shipping. I'm just glad someone can use it, I've saved it all this time. The Flick+ was horribly undersprung from the factory since it didn't have air assist, and the firm spring went with the bike when I sold it.

    Does your Breakout have the lockdown travel adjust where the fork is locked in partially-compressed mode? If so, I'm sure this is the right spring. Let me know.

    I believe that it does... to be completely honest I can't put enough force on the spring to see whether or not the fork sits lower on one setting or the other. The spring in it at the moment has a black swath of paint which I was told means extra firm.

    I'll hit you up mid next week if my "l"bs doesn't pull through with the order!
