A good bike shop should be able to turn you a set of reducers on a lathe - it's a simple alloy structure. If you get desperate, phantom cycles in Australia...
It's a common problem you have, one I had when I replaced my Y22 shock with a Fox Float. In the UK certainly, we have several options, of which I know that...

Early Y22s (and 11/33's too) require a top swing, top pull 34.9 mech. Most Shimano mechs are now 34.9 and will come with reducers for smaller frames. You would...
Have to add that I think that it should be very easy to find a replacement - there are a lot of traditional down-swing/ bottom-swing FDs on ebay, for example....
Yup I had the same problem when I had to change mine out. And it was nearly impossible to find a replacement with the same bracket size and bottom pull. I...
I'm having trouble fitting my XT front mech to my Y22 - can anybody email me a close up photo of the front mech set up as I think I may have the wrong design...
... Andy, the required pressure varies greatly from shock to shock. My old Alps4 seemed to need 220psi, while my new Swinger needs only 130psi, to give the...
... I agree, lower shock leverage is desirable, it's just that you can't change it on the y-bike. Agree wholeheartedly with your comments about technology, my...
