Given the choice of these two shocks on the same frame, which would you choose? Both are air shocks. Both frames/shocks are leftover new old stock, both are claimed 5" travel.
(1) 2005 Manitou Swinger 3-way, on 2005 Jamis XLT.
(2) 2006 Fox Float R w/ factory-set propedal (not adjustable), on 2006 Jamis XLT.
The Swinger 3-way has adjustable SPV pressure, which in theory should make it more tunable than the non-adjustable Float R. But in general, I'd rather have a Fox shock than a Manitou shock.
If I do this build, the front end of the bike will be a 140mm Fox Vanilla RLC.
