I'm considering changing the shock on my Orange Sub 3. I am happy with measuring the length of the shock, centre of eye to eye it is 165mm.

How do I measure the stroke though? I seem to remember that its pretty short.

Ta in advance.

Remove the air from the shock, compress the suspension fully and measure how far down it compresses. If it has on o-ring just use that.

165mm eye-to-eye has 38mm stroke. 8mm per inch. so 4.5"
