Evening folks.
I've got an orange patriot frame on its way to me soon. It's currently running a coil shock and i'd like to change to an air one.
The orange website says the i2i of the shock should be 215mm, most of the current air shocks i've seen have a 216mm i2i, will the extra mm make much difference? will i be able to run one of these or do i need to find a 215mm one?
Cheers

is the stroke the same?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

From what i can gether it is, i'll double check it is when it arrives, but assuming so would a 216 i2i be ok?What We Achieve In Life, Echoes In Eternity0

if the stroke is the same then itll be fine, 1mm is miniscule0

If the stroke is the same i assume a typo/miss print."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Ok guys, cheers for all your help.
I'll wait for it to turn up and double check before making a purchase, but by the sounds of it; it should work ok.
