I emailed Zed Sports with some questions about the Splittail rear shock.
Thought I post the info here since there is little info on this bike, it's not even listed on the Planet X site (just prototype photos, not info).
What size shock does it require? I have a spare Manitou Swinger 3way
7.5 x 2.0 and a 6.5 x 1.5.
Either will work, obviously the 7.5 x 2.0 will give you more travel
For the frame that does come with a shock, what shock make/model
would that be?
We ship with Rockshock Pearl 3.3
Can it fit a front derailluer?
No

- The leverage ratio of the splitail is 2.6:1
- This means if you put a 1.5" stroke shock on the bike you will get 3.9" travel at the rear wheel
- If you put a 2" stroke shock in the bike you will get 5.2" travel at the rear wheel.
- We do not recommend a shock longer than 7.5"
