Shock Size For 036?
« on: July 17, 2014, 09:06:34 PM »
When building the 036 FSR, how do you guys know what shock size to buy? I plan on a 100mm front and rear.
I have a sworks ht that I plan to transfer most parts over to this frame and make myself a sworks epic 29.

You need to get the geometry drawing. For your frame size.
Either on a forum, the site of the seller or ask the seller.

The axle to crown (ac) distance is given.
As well as the offset of the axle from the tube line of the fork.

Hi zx14,

If its the IP-036 from Iplay you will need a 165mm (6.5 x 1.5) shock.  The measurement is from the shock eyelet to eyelet.
