I believe the correct shock for a GT DHi is 9"x2.75" - does anyone know if that's an exact measurement?
The one I have (a rockshox pro deluxe) is actually 9 3/16" long (233mm).
Also I noticed that if I flip the shock mounting plates around into the steeper headangle position I can't actually fit the shock unless I compress it by about 2mm, suggesting it is in fact too long.
Could this have happened due to something failing internally - it still seems to work? Or maybe the old one blew and this has been found on some other bike?
Shaft length seems to be 77mm, though in addition to the bottom out bumper there's also a rigid 6mm thick plastic washer on the shaft.
What's going on
