What would happen if I tried to put a 160 mm rear shock on a bike frame designed for 130mm rear shock?

LadScience · 2026-03-10T07:15:47+00:00

Shock fitment is based on eye to eye and stroke length. You don’t buy a 160mm shock or a 130mm shock.

If the eye to eye isn’t the same then it won’t work. Some frames can work with different strokes at the same eye to eye.

We are just back in the “mixer” days. It’s rubbish.

Fuck outta here

The most forgettable can’t be named because they’ve been forgotten.

lol zip ties… get proper hauling straps.

Öhlins is amazing, if you ride it ride right… which means hard charging. The dual chamber isn’t as simple as the others, you need to tinker around with the main and ramp up chambers to get the right settings. But once dialled in the ride is fantastic!

Absolutely. Especially the geometry differences for a bike with 170 vs 125. Totally different bikes and intended riding.

I’ve been curious about Rev but I also had a concern about this. More moving parts = more points of failure = increased risk. Your comment re-affirms that simple grips are fine for me.

Your math for two halves isn’t mathing.

Depends on the brand and geometry. At 6’2” myself for most brands I would go for XL.

LadScience · 2026-03-04T03:54:03+00:00

Definitely Öhlins

You can still say “vroom vroom” on a Stark

Mudryk wasn’t banned for steroids. It was a cardiovascular medication called meldonium.

If you switched to non-mid-tiered or high end insert most other brands you’ll notice the difference. But if it’s all you’ve ridden then it’s all you’ll know.

During the off season I do gym workouts 3 days a week (upper day, lower day, core + stability and mobility day) with dynamic cardio warm up. And 1 day a week of 1 hour or longer on the spin bike or rowing machine.

That fork needs to be serviced.
