Yep eye to eye is the same.Is eye to eye same?
Yep just stroke. Thanks for that.2 variables as Moorey says are eye to eye and shock stroke .[ Stroke x leverage ratio gives roughly wheel travel.]
Both can be increased depending on the frame .
If its just the stroke 2.5 mm is nothing . You can test it by deflating the shock and see if it hits anything .
If you are a real worrier easy to unscrew aircan , deflate it first and put 2 hose to tap washers in = just put in a cut so they encircle the shaft.
Derp. ^^^This^^^Is eye to eye same?
Just to note how case-by-case it is - I test-fit a 200x57mm (instead of stock 200x51mm) on my 5010, but the linkages contacted the frame about 1mm before full shock travel. I'd read on VitalMTB about people long shocking them with that sizing and having no dramas, but it definitely wasn't going to work on mine. Luckily in a rare moment of clarity I checked this before I rode it, so no harm done. Probably an extra 3mm shock travel would've been the max doable on that frame, and even that would be worrying close to locking out the links IMO.I went an extra 5mm w my Santa Cruz , back tyre hit front derailleur cable stop, buzzing on full compression , took off derailleur , chopped stop off w angle grinder = problem solved.
Just the Cube:What frame, @mas2?
Yeah, same. Plastic washers from Bunnings, about $4 a pack, measured out to the reduction I need.Easy imperial to metric 1 inch to 25.4 mm.As above I just put in hard plastic washers seems fine for the last 1-2 yrs .
