Shock length question

mfereborn

Would changing the length of my shock from 200mm I2I to something upto about 215 shorten the wheelbase and increase the BB height significantly?

I understand geometry etc comes into this but im curious as to whether or not this could make by Zesty a bit more manoeuvrable. At the moment it's a little bit long, and even compared to my fuel it seems to want to mount things constantly.

It will alter things, quite significantly. If we assume a 3:1 ratio, then 15mm extra here will translate into 45mm at the wheel. This would steepen the angles considerably.

But again it may actually do nothing other than reduce the travel. And to your last question nope.
