    Hi all.

    I have a Stumpy FSR with a Brain shock on it, i2i is about 184mm and stroke is 45mm. How much of an effect will a 190×50 RP23 have on the bike? Anyone else done this?

    200×50 works slighty steeper head angle with a bit more rear travel. Not sure about the 190 might have clearance probs.

    Where would the clearance probs be? Surely less problems than with a 200×50? Unless you mean at full compression?

    Any idea roughly how much the head angle would be steepened by a 190 compared to 184?

    Thanks for th help.

    Not 100% sure if there would be, but poss at full bottom out given the longer stroke. I know of plenty of people that run a 200×50 as a replacement for the brain. Head angle wise not by much because with the longer stroke run a tiny bit more sag, I'd say not to worry about that and enjoy the plusher shock
