Hi

Im looking to upgrade my rear shock and ive seen a Fox CTD Kashima coat that i like. My bike (Santa Cruz Heckler) states the rear shock is 216 x 63. All good, but the shock i want is measured at
215 x 64 . 1mm diff each end. Will this (a) Fit (b) make any noticeable difference in performance if (a) is yes!?

Thanks

Rob

    A) with 99% certainty, yes
    B) Depends what you have now!

    Cheers The Beginner, the performance diff i meant will the fact that its slightly undersized make any difference, it will defo make a difference to a bog standard Fox Float RL im sure.

    The size difference is all but irrelevant, probably close to within the tolerances of the frame...

    that's a step up, yes ;-)
