Anyone run an 03 Spesh Enduro with a 200mm shock?

I’ve got an 03 spesh enduro which is brilliant (mbr best bike ever 😉 ) except that the bb is too low. I’ve heard of people fitting a 200mm shock to raise the bb up a bit – the std shock is 195mm – but it’ll also steepen the head angle.

So, anyone tried it?,

BETD do a linkage upgrade for £100 that raises the bb to 13.1″ & gives you an extra 3/4 of a inch in travel

thing is that really i’m happy with 5 inch travel…

Cant you turn the flipflop link over to give you a higher BB?
IIRC you can change the BB height from 13.12 to 13.8″ or thereabout. Does channge the head angle though

thing is that really i’m happy with 5 inch travel…

already using the steeper head tube and higher bb option.
