Following on from my earlier post (broken shock), if I put a 200x57 fox rp2 on instead of a 200x50 will this cause significant issues? The geometry won't change, but presumably there becomes a risk of the swing arm hitting the seat tube? Anyone got any experience of doing this? Btw, it an old style superlight frame, circa 2001.

(The reason I ask is all the shocks I can find are 200x57 and I need it quickish)

Buy it, try it and see.
If the worst happens and it does hit the frame (unlikely as the tyre would normally be in the way) then just fashion a 7mm spacer to reduce the stroke length
