Any of you knows a way to get the measurements and somehow measure if a specific coil shock would fit my linkage. I'm not talking about eye to eye, I have a standard 7.875x2.0 shock. I'm talking about the lenght of the reservoir, the distance between the top eye and the bottom of the reservoir,...
I'm looking at getting myself the new Marzocchi Rocco or any of those two competitor if any of them fits my frame (Fox DHX-C or CaneCreek Double Barrel).
I went to a couple of local bike shops and nobody has these shocks in stock or bikes with a shock that would fit my eye to eye. So I need to order and most shops don't take back a shock so I would like to make sure it will fit before. I don't want to loose a lot of money for nothing. Basically what I'm afraid is that the reservoir will hit the down tube.
Any suggestions? My current idea is to draw a little diagram with some measurements/angles and try sending that to the various companies hoping one of them will be nice enough to reply. Below is my frame so you have an idea that the space for the reservoir is "limited".
Thanks.
