to lower the rear or not- and how?
« on: October 09, 2018, 08:42:02 pm »

Hello

I am getting ready to buy a Penske rear shock from Traxxions. I am a bit inseam challenged and thought about having the shock built with 1 inch shorter spring.


I guess i'm looking at 3 options, lower the connie via dogbones, lower via the new shock or leave alone…

I have lowered previous bikes via dogbones and could not perceive a difference in handling.

Experiences appreciated.

What shock did you buy, if its the double clicker, you can order it so the ride height can go up or down.
Ask to speak to Dan in service!

Thanks Gixerhp.. I have been working with Dan and it is the double 8983.

He actually presented the question to me - without mentioning the adjustablilty you speak of.

I will check with him.
