Basically, you can choose whatever you want from the list of permitted cylinders. These come in varying lengths, and in diameters of 3/4", 1.5" and 2". Look in a previous year's pneumatics manual if necessary, but remember to follow THIS year's rules. YOU need to decide what amount of force is necessary, and how long it needs to be.
You can also order 1 1/16 cylinders from the Bimba site.
