Sorry to post here, but I need a real quick answer...

About to order some Bitubo's, but I get conflicting opinions

I measure my shock 13" eyelet to eyelet. Other people on the forum have told me its actually 12" and progressive says 11.5" . Dan @ TRAXXION doesnt have a spec on the SERK...

Confused and want to place the order today (thanks to everyone from the Save Momma's ARSE thread!)

Hey Scott

Measured my stock ones before I replaced them. The were just a shade under 12" (less than 1/8") with the bike standing upright. If I remember correctly, you want the 300mm Bitubos if you want the stock height. 330mm if you want more suspension travel.

I gave up and just ordered the 13" Bitubo's

I kept getting way too many different opinions of how long they should be, and how to measure them... Air in, air out, on/off the kickstand

Mike @ Traxxion said worse case I can return them, but he said that even if they are a inch higher its not a big deal and the bike will handle better anyways... So I can just try and see!

Does a inch make a difference? We will see!

Thx to all!
