I have a 2002 specialized enduro expert. Ive heard around r/m that people flip the link, but Im not really sure what theyre talking about. What does flipping the link mean? What does it do? Does it change the travel/feel of the bike? Any help would be nice since the enduro has just been sitting in my garage for a year or so and i'm getting an itch to just ditch it. thanks -mar
Flipping the link

That's the part the bottom end of the shock mounts to. Flipping it changes head angle and bb height. Take off the four bolts on the link, take out the shock bolt and flip it. Reassemble. Repeat as necessary.awholelota said:
Isn't that only for 03 and newer Enduros?
I don't know about that. The 2002 link looks straight - as in "flipping does nil". At least, the link looks much different than my 2003.

werd. the easiest way to bust it over is to unbolt the 4 alloy bolts (at the corners) and just twist the link and shock around. The body of the shock will stay put and the stanchion will spin freely. There is no need to unbolt the shock at all. I used to run my Enduro in the steep setting for the extra BB height and 5" fork geometry.
