Any recomendations for a rear shock?
7,5" x 5".
Its for what I'm going to call a short travel AM bike.
I'm going to need to Climb loads, considering where I live, so want a pedal friendly shock. But want to get the most out of the bike on the way Down. My frame isnt compatible With piggy backs, or even the clever cane Creek inline one.
Sat at my desk, a Remote seems logical. Easy to swap between Climb and descend set-ups. But out on the trail I'm a simplistic soul. Just having a gear lever is going to be a Sharp Learning curve for me. I've spent the last few years single speeding on a fully rigid 29er. Which I tended to just ride untill I fell off. Then dialled Things back a notch. Probably a bit too old to be falling off my bike so much these days though.
