yes, i know. the lower bearing race is 1.5 in diameter at its widest, but the inner is 1x1/8. take your bike to your LBS, I lack confidence in your ability to repair this on your own.

Depends really are you bottoming it out ?? I wouldn't worry about the sag too much it's the way it behaves on the trail and big hits, you've got 8" travel so it should be used on step downs and harsh landings etc - 25-30% sag is about right. You can always turn the spring slightly more to make the preload better so you have a bit less

Here is my Myst Pro

I've changed the bars stem and brakes and grips and possibly going to change the rear shock for a Rockshox Vivid Air.

Really looking forward to getting it out to Inners and Fort William

Hi guys and gals, anyone know what length shock is needed for a 2012 saracen myst? and would a rockshock vivid work well with it?being that I have never seen anyone run a rockshock rear shock in oneSmile
