Non-retro question (well pos. retro in waiting).

Rear shock on my Sub5 has finally given up after seven years service. To get a replacement I need to know the length & stroke - how do I measure these?

Ta,
 
length = middle of pivot to middle of pivot (eye to eye)

stroke = how much the stanchion moves. measure this by putting a cable tie round the slider and fully compressing the shock. then fully extend the shock again, and measure how far the cable tie moved.
