I`m looking to upgrade my rear shock
I`ve got a rear shock that is 190 x 50 it as no lock out or pro pedal
Can i fit a longer shock say a 200 x 50 and would it be okay?

my frame is 120 mm rear travel

Cheers

Would make the angles slightly steeper and raise the BB, but not dramatically. Would be better to get one the same size if you can.

Youve gotta have the 10mm space you will require. As sambob says try for the same size but a 200x50 should be ok.
