Hello all, quick question for you. Is the bargain 190mm 51mm RP23 at CRC the right size for my 5? I thought it was 190mm 50mm but am unsure is the 1mm makes a difference as I'm not the sharpest when it comes to such things.

Thanks in advance.

It will fit fine and will equate to roughly 3mm more travel

they'll be the same shock length, just people round up or down on the 2" stroke when converting to mm 😉

Cheers chaps. I've been told a medium/medium shock is the correct tune for a 5. Is this right?

Yes that should be ok, if it's got a High volume aircan, it's worth fitting a small or medium air volume spacer to help with the spring progression in the mid and end of stroke.
