[#2583100]

i'm looking at getting a rear shock for my enduro expert 09

now looking on the [url= http://service.specialized.com/collateral/ownersguide/english-new/assets/pdf/FSR---2009-Enduro-SL-FSR-Manual.pdf ]specialized wedsite[/url] it's saying the shock size is 8.75x2.5 but measuring it on my bike it looks more like a 8x2.5 (not the most accurate measurement)

and [url= http://www.bikeradar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=16521313 ]this[/url] confused me even more

any help much appreciated

In metric it's 200 x 57, or 8.75 x 2.25 Ring TF tuned and theyll sort you out

Err, you've got me wondering now. My van rc is definitely 200x57 though on my 08 sl!

Definitely 200 x 57 (I changed the shock on mine thereby. An RP23 is sweet on it)

I'm greedy and have a van rc but have also just bought an rp23 off here for longer days out. The van rc is superb for uplifts and daft stuff though. It feels as good as my old big hit but pedals up hill pretty well. Got lyrik uturns on it as well!

The extra weight is noticeable but it very much depends how you have it set up. TF Tuned recommended me a coil size based on my weight and type of riding I do. I have done plenty of all dayers (Peaks etc) on it without too much trouble but now I have the lyriks as well the overall bike weight is reaching the limit of where I want it to be (about 33lbs), hence the rp 23
