Looking to upgrade the Bar rear shock to match the Reba Race front fork and going to get a Rock Shox Monarch RT3, Just don't know which tune to get, low-med, or high. Does anyone know what the leverage ratio is on the '04 Fuel is ?
Thanks Joe

You're talking "old school" Fuel, yes? And I'm taking the question to mean rear wheel travel to rear shock travel? It was generally considered 3" of wheel travel, but I believe it is actually more like 2.8-ish inches of travel...... with a 1.5" stroke shaock, you could ball park it and call it 2:1. I have an '01 Fuel and am basing this assumption on this.... hope that helps....
