Rockshox Monarch shock on Titus FTM.....

I let all the air out of my Rockshox Monarch shock that came with my Titus FTM carbon to see what 'full travel' looked like - as I didn't think I was getting anywhere near full travel whilst riding despite having the correct sag.

When fully compressed, there was still 10mm or so of stanchion (?) showing. I thought that the air can would come much further down the stanchion than that at full compression?

It certainly has done on Fox shocks I've had on previous bikes (more like 2-3mm showing).

Does anyone have an FTM with Monarch shock they can check for me?

No idea I'm afraid but this thread may help.

[EDIT] should be 200mm i-i with 50mm stroke it that helps you check.

I think they have a stroke reducer fitted to stop swingarm/front end interference, so won't use all the shaft showing,..

Also on nearly any shock there's a number inside that you need to compress to get full travel to stop them banging on a harsh bottom out. So just letting all the air out isn't enough, you'd need to lean on it too.

It was leant on too - I don't remember it making that much difference - 10mm+ of bumper though??. I'll have a measure up and check.... (whilst its snowing and mank outside)

Cheers
