rear suspension
Rear shock length
Hi folks,just wandering if ypu can put a slightly longer shock onto the back end of a giant cypher.The shock length (eye to eye)appears to be about 185mm,would a slightly longer shock be ok?Im guessing that it would be slightly more compressed than normal, but should work allright. Im Mr Magoo when it comes to bike tech sadly....
rear shock advice
Hi. I am after some advice re: rear shocks. I have not owned a dual suspension bike before but I am currently looking around for something cheap (older in decent condition).
I will be riding mainly XC style with some easier AM thrown in. I dont like to hit the big downhill stuff.
Considering that I will be riding uphill trails a fair bit, is there anything in particular that I should be looking for in a rear shock? I am mainly worried about pedal bob and losing a lot of momentum when riding up hills.
