Bicyclist said:Um no. The longer stroke would give you a steep HA and a high BB. Plus the clearance issue would be worse if anything.
The problem w/ a 3" stroke on the SXT is the lack of interchangability with other shocks. I.E. good luck finding a compatible shock.
yes I know abou the head angle and bb issues. my thought was that if some used a 3.0 with out going to a longer e-t-e you would risk hitting the wheel/link on the frame when under compression. If you boost the e-t-e aswell the rim starts farther out and will compress to the same spot as with the stock shock.
Thou I wonder if the coil would hit when extended when using the 9.25?
