shock size

[dirtydozen]

What sorta difference would I make using a slightly longer eye to eye shock on my frame or slightly shorter?
I need a 200mm but seems to be more options in 190mm or 215/222mm

Depends on the frame, if there is space for it to fit the it may just change the wheelbase, head and seat angle....

I'm thinking of making summat out of wood to put on to see what the angles look like

I runs 200 and a 222 on the same frame but to fit the 222 I have to take out an adaptor that was supplied as standard... Because it's a straight swap on a single pivot the angles stay the same but if it was multi link etc then it would be different!

Good idea on the wood but remember angles change as the shock cycles through its travel...

Yeah its single pivot
