I have a Vanilla R 7.87 x 2.3 shock on my '03 SGS expert...
If I buy a Romic 7.87 x 2.25 shock how much travel will it take away
Thanks!

Uh thats the same shock dems.
no...the actual travel of the shock is .05 inches less, and the bike FSR susension could exagerate that (I think)...
no one makes a 2.3 shock. the spring might say "450 x 2.3" but it's a 2.25" stroke shock methinks. same with "2.8" springs/2.75" stroke shocks.
however, if you truly do have a 2.3" stroke shock, then the travel you'd get by switching to a 2.25" stroke shock would be:
[total travel] x 2.25 / 2.3
and the travel you'd lose would be the total travel minus the above result
edit: skool is hard
Great thanks a lot!
According to that formula assuming that you have a 6" travel bike you would loose exactly: NOT ENOUGH TO WORRY.
Frame designers fudge travel numbers anyways so the real argument should be what travel do i really have, because to really worry about it you must know (its the unkown in your math problem) Now of you were adding .5" of stroke or more then you'd have something to chew on.
This is off topic sorta, but you wanna have some fun with lenght conversions? Co here: http://www.onlineconversion.com/length_all.htm . I was gonna be a real smart ass and convert everything into military pace [double time], but i got bored. 1" BTW is (1 inch [international, U.S.] = 0.0277778 military pace [double time]).

...yeah I'm sure that it's not enough to worry about. My expert currently has 7 inches of travel and I love it
Dude, no way man it's an exact science....
ok, ok so some of the numbers are fudged and the other numbers no mortals are allowed to understand 
.........it's all just magic (insert RM engineering debate here :mumble::mumble::mumble::mumble: :mumble::mumble::mumble::mumble: ) and some frame design Wizards have more powerfull magic than others.......... :evil:I suck at science
