So, i know nothing about shock sizing and modding things to fit other than one bike usually uses one shock size.
my trek is a fuel ex. it uses the ****ty proprietary 7.25x2.0 shock (184x50). i would love to put a CCinline on it.
they make these two sizes 184 x 44mm // 190 x 50mm , i emailed them to see if i could do a custom order and they were not having it..
so, i am curious... if i buy the 184, what will the travel be with 44mm stroke? will i loose travel? or should i just buy the 190? if i buy the 190, how do i get the 6mm in difference to mount up?
i was told i could run offset bushings to makeup for the difference in distance, although i know offset bushings change the geo and BB of the frame. i do not want this.. i just want a nicer shock for the bike, since its the weak link in this bike.
