I've got an 03 spesh enduro which is brilliant (mbr best bike ever 😉 ) except that the bb is too low. I've heard of people fitting a 200mm shock to raise the bb up a bit - the std shock is 195mm - but it'll also steepen the head angle.

So, anyone tried it?,

BETD do a linkage upgrade for £100 that raises the bb to 13.1" & gives you an extra 3/4 of a inch in travel

Cant you turn the flipflop link over to give you a higher BB?
IIRC you can change the BB height from 13.12 to 13.8" or thereabout. Does channge the head angle though
