Mar 18, 2003 7:52 AM | | The length is the important part here, I assume that the stroke would be around 2". And I'd like to avoid going custom way (too expensive) if possible...
Thanks |
| Stratos used to ... | skywaybuzz
Mar 18, 2003 4:21 PM | | Not no more and no one else I know does either. Its a odd lenght anyway ,will be harder to resell. even 7.5 is a odd size but they have them with 2" stroke. Maybe check your frame. |
| i remember someone said they had that size.... | zedro
Mar 18, 2003 7:10 PM | | maybe TNC from DH section, cant remember (just that it was an old dude ;). Might wanna check the archives. |
| Yeah, this old dude has one. | TNC
Mar 19, 2003 6:39 PM | | Dang whipersnappers! Yeah, I have a Stratos Helix Expert on a '99 FSR. It came with the Mt.Speed 6" travel kit. It has been an exceptional shock. I recently got it serviced by Stratos, and it still works like a charm. This is one of the shortest shocks made to give a true 2" stroke. I also have a brand new Stratos Helix Expert Pro that is 7.25" long with a 2.25" stroke. I sold the bike it was intended for before installing it. |

Mar 19, 2003 7:44 AM | | Depending on what kind of application youre after, Cane Creek makes air shocks from about 140-220 mm. 7" is in there some place, and i'll bet they have 2" strokes, too. Just a thought, as i need a shock of that size, too, but for a xc application. Hopefully it exists... Fox makes just about all sizes, too, its just an issue of how to get a hold of one. |
| oops... | sdbullock
Mar 19, 2003 7:46 AM | | those Cane Creek shocks come in 5 mm increments. Forgot to mention that. Come to think of it, for a tougher application, i think Romic makes there regular shock in any length for the same price, and that they sell them in house. Hmm.... |
| and again... | sdbullock
Mar 19, 2003 7:52 AM | | Check out Sunny from CC's post about two threads down re: 145mm shock. They make a 177/47, which is really close. The 180/50 is what im going to throw on my Dakar, giving my 120 mm and a better head angle with a 5" fork. Good stuff! |
