[Closed] Putting a bigger shock on a mk1 nomad...
Been looking for a coil shock for a little while and I've been offered a 8.75 x 2.75 shock cheap, however the nomad is normally a 8.5x2.5.
Read a few threads on mtbr about using a bigger shock successfully to give a bit more travel. This would suit me as the coil would only be used for morzine & uplifts, back to air for wales/uk.
Anyone done this successfully?
speak to tftuned or mojo
imo it will cock the geometry up, unless you run loooong forks
I find 6.5" travel adequate on a nomad in the alps (until I take delivery of my tr450 that is) - But then again I run totems on the front, more travel on the front has much more benefit than more travel on the rear
According to the posts on mtbr it raises the BB a smidgen, no noticable difference to geo - p
I'm only considering the shock because it will save me about £150 over a new 8.5x2.5
