Need to put a heavier spring on my Patriot and wondered if I could get away with put a 500 x 2.25 on instead of the 450 x 2.0? Would I get away with the extra .25 or should I just stick with the 2.0?
It is on a 190mm e2e Manitou 3 way Swinger if that helps?

Don’t really want to buy something and then find out it is no use

Yep that’ll be fine, providing you have enough room for the length

I have one of those in my shed going spare. If you like I’ll check this evening. I guess about £20 posted?

PS it’s a fox spring so I’ll get the ID for you as well.
