Hi. For other bikes like Kona Stinky, there exists a retrofit shock mount (dangerboys.com) to increase rear travel. Does this exist for Tracer, or are there any ways of increasing rear travel from 4" to 5-7"?

They only thing you could do is get your hands on some Uzzi SL links, but even that will only increase travel a half inch

And don't forget about the BB

...and also raise the BB to ridicolous heights. The Tracer is already high, and an even higher BB will make it climb, descent and corner worse...

Ole.

I had heard of BETD wanting to make a link, like they do for the Specialized frames, but they were having trouble getting a Tracer for testing. Being the Tracer is DC, I doubt they will be making one.

I'm running the SL link on my Tracer and the BB is high! Like PIMP said I am getting approx. 1/2 more of travel. I really haven't noticed a major decline in handling so I can't complain. There might be a slight decline in cornering but I'm not racing the bike and haven't really noticed a big difference. I'm also running a bash guard instead af the 3rd ring and it provides a ton of ground clearance. For aggressive XC it does the job.
