hi all

my friend has a cannondale super v sl circa 1997, it has the original 135mm fox vanilla coil shock.

the plan is to remove this unit and fit some kind of fox float or other brand, my mate has spoken to cannondale but were unable ot help specifically and advised him to contact a lbs etc.

it seems that certain models in this super v range do have an air/oil shock so would one of these go straight on ? from what ive read her ; http://cdn.cannondale.com/Manuals/1999_ ... ent_en.pdf, the raven comes with a 80mm shock and standard super v has 120-130mm

any peeps out there clued up and experienced enough to recommend a suitable replacement shock?

cheers :-)

    you will need to fit a shock that has the same i2i and also the same Stroke.

    TBH contact Mojo and TFtuned about the alternative shock which i believe will be the same i2i but have a longer stroke.
