Well I do have to question this statement.... I could be wrong but the way I see it if you add a 3mm spacer to bike "A" and extend the ride height 3mm on bike "B" the end result will be the lower eye of the shock will be in the same place.nora2004 wrote: I think the main difference will be the rise in ride height, my question would be what to do with the shock, for example I've added 3mm onto the length of the Penske shock which is the same as adding a 6mm shock spacer on with the 2:1 linkage ratio!
So when you bolt it to the lower linkage (which is closer to 3:1 not 2:1) the ride height of both bike should be the same.
I can't see how adding length to one end or the other will make a difference. In the end you have a shock the is Xmm longer which should give you the same result in the end IMHO.
