You sure 210mm? 200 and 216 is usually the go. 200, based on that spring.

Different year, but this says 190x50 shock.

That’s the slope style version, which has 100mm of travel. Mine is the fr Version which has 160 or 180 mm of travel

More like this maybe.
If you’re running 2.3 spring, it may bind and cause issues on a 2.5 stroke

Yeah. See above though. @SummitFever @link1896 or coil experts?

I think it’s ok to run a slightly longer spring, but not shorter. It’s been a while.

Wait until someone else confirms maybe, but I think that’s the go. @Boom King @Plankosaurus ?

I'll check when home.

I meant about a spring being shorter than the stroke being an issue?

 

[Lucaw]

@The Dude pointed me in the direction of tf tuned's spring calculator, and it says it needs a 450 pound spring, so i have updated the thread

Did he talk about running a spring shorter than the stroke?

 

[Lucaw]

no, but I'm pretty sure you're right that in need the same lenght stroke

 

[moorey]

no, but I'm pretty sure you're right that in need the same lenght stroke

Sorry, missed that you updated that. I

It is an issue, spring will bind.

I have a 500 x 2.80, 145mm free length. You're welcome to it if you want.
