I've just done a bearing service on my old Giant Faith and have realized I've put the top linkages on the opposite way round. This seems to have moved the shock mounting holes rearward by around 1cm.

What effect is this going to have on the ride? I know it's going to relax the head angle a touch, but what effect will it have on the suspension action? Or won't I really notice much difference?

This the offending beasty in question…
