...Will This Fit? https://www.bike24.com/p2397287.html
I notice in the discription it says bushing kit not supplied - Do i need to buy anything to make this fit the frame?
I have this shock on mine.
Replacing the bushing with an ENDURO BEARING BK-5864 SHOCK NEEDLE BEARING 22,2X8MM

Thank you Carbonazza! I ordered the 165x40 trunnion version as wing said the 42.5 wont fit . I will order this bushing kit now :)

Wing is playing conservative, as the frame was designed for a 40.
Many of us here are with a 42.5, you can contact bike24 and change it if you like.

The shock comes with a bushing you'll have to remove(the metallic part in the picture)
The black tool is from WFMG, 1/2" bushings, it helps to remove it cleanly.
I did it already with a screw of the right diameter on a piece of wood, but it was more brutal.
As a last resort, an LBS should be able to help you get it out.

...Its my do-it-all bike but also mostly to race XC on technical natural trails during the summer...
You'll be happy! I did and Enduro race and the Swiss Epic the same summer last year with it.
With a 120 Ultimate and 42.5mm here's the build: http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,2079.msg26737.html#msg26737

Just finished installing the new 120mm link. A pain in the ass it was! I rather install new bearings in the bike.
Got the new link through the germin mtb forum for a reasonable price, but if I had bought it directly from Carbonda I would have returned it. The measurements where the mounting hardware should fit were of by almost 2mm. It should be 30mm it was nearly 28...so had to sand it in shape. But its done.
Hopefully it was worth the trouble going from 42.5 to 45mm stroke. There aren't much reviews of the new link, so bit of a gamble.
Also have to check if I didn't f#cked up the shim tune of my rsmdeluxe ultimate 2023. It was Low compression according to the rs website and trailhead app, but looked different when I opened it compared to the shim tune manual. If I did everything well it should be a medium compression tune now...maybe I will do the rebound as well(but it also looked different...).

We'll see tomorrow. Keep you posted.

stupid question, I can change my old FM936 to 120MM just buying a new link and shock?
