   200 x 57mm has a 550 spring but can be swapped out for a 400 if it suits better.

   Am I right in think that's off a Pitch? What weight is the 550 spring suitable for? Ta

   Yep of my Pitch, the spring suits 14stone sort of weight.

   Edit: would consider a RP2 or 23/cash in px too.

   Ok thanks. Can I ask why you're getting rid?

   My Pitch is slightly overbuilt for the majority of my local riding. It does very well when I head away somewhere that needs it, the coil is super plush and tuneable. Considering selling the coil Lyriks too and getting a lighter 140 fork.

   Cheers - I'm heading to the Pyrenees in about a week and doing a bit of uplift so it's tempting to try it out, never used a coil shock before. I weigh about 17 stone though so I suppose I'll need a heavier spring.

   How old is the shock/is it in good condition etc/serviced at all? Thanks.

   TF Tuned suggest a 550 Manitou spring for 33% sag (17st) so it might suit you for the DH stuff. I haven't serviced it/had it serviced as it works well, no leaks and the air pressure hasn't changed. I don't use the Pitch as much as I should so it hasnt seen many miles in its months with me. Not sure on its age but I did swap it for my RP2 with somebody of here.

   Fitted:

   OK, I think I'll give it a go as long as you can post it in the next day or two? I'm going to hang on to my RP2 for now though I think.

   Can you email me payment details please? Email in profile. Ta.

    Nice one, just sent paypal gift.

    One last question, is it easy to fit? I have removed the shock before for servicing, do I just attach the coil shock in exactly the same way as putting back the RP2? I assume I don't need any different mounting hardware etc? Thanks.
