At that price you'd almost buy it just so they can't.It was super cheap, but if I wasn't going to build it up for my brother I would have left it to the gumtree wolves.

I believe my 200x51 is a 200x57 with a spacer. Probably other sizes tooCan you do the same with old imperial shocks as well? Or is it just the newer metric ones that are designed to do that?
Basically any of the sizes that have different strokes for the same e2e, the only difference is that the shorter stroke version has a bottom out spacer on the main shaft (in the air can if air, under the bottom out bumper if coil). E.g. a 210x55 and 210x50 are the same except the 50 stroke has a 5mm spacer so it bottoms out earlier.Can you do the same with old imperial shocks as well? Or is it just the newer metric ones that are designed to do that?
Definitely can do.Can you do the same with old imperial shocks as well? Or is it just the newer metric ones that are designed to do that?
As others have said, it's certainly possible (imperial or metric) within the limitations of the design of the shock. What are you wanting to do? There was far less intermediate travel options in the imperial shock world than what there is with metric shocks. Reducing shock stroke is almost always do-able but reducing eye-to-eye is much trickier and may involve a modification to the equalisation dimple on the air can (or a new air can) to be done properly (although some shocks, like the Mara don't have a dimple, so they can be reduced in eye-to-eye fairly easily).Can you do the same with old imperial shocks as well?

This is a much better approach. I wonder why Fox and RS don't do the same? They might be worried about the spacer splitting on heavy bottom out. Are the TriAir/Topaz spacers plastic?... have a slotted travel spacer, so no need for a damper service to change them out...
Yes, they are some sort of plastic/nylonThis is a much better approach. I wonder why Fox and RS don't do the same? They might be worried about the spacer splitting on heavy bottom out. Are the TriAir/Topaz spacers plastic?
With my Norco there isn’t enough clearance to safely go from 190x45 to 190x51; I’ve sorted it with an offset bushing for now, effectively giving me a 192x51 and good clearance. Was wanting to lift the bb a little so has worked pretty well.As others have said, it's certainly possible (imperial or metric) within the limitations of the design of the shock.

Sad times. Hopefully the new bike makes up for its absence.View attachment 380722
Gave it a final wash before I give it to it’s new owner on Monday.
Will pull those pedals off and put back onto the dj bike.
He got an good deal, he can buy his own pedals.
The poor sod has no idea how much his shins are about to be tested.Sad times. Hopefully the new bike makes up for its absence.
I sold a bike recently and the buyer (who actually turned out to be a highly decent individual) asked if I had any pedals I could throw into the deal. Only flats I had were some old Saints.... but I suppose if you had no other experience of flat pedals they'd probably seem ok.
He’s getting a link to mtbdirect.Sad times. Hopefully the new bike makes up for its absence.

Looks the same here but instead of water, it’s a hill!Ok. Not me but one of my best mates that lives in Cambodia.
