if you made a new linkage you could add a bit to shock side , retain original geo and the shorter travel ? i don't mean shorter or longer i mean directly dawn from the original shock mount

Yeah thatd be cool forsure.

So did all the older G-Spots have a 7.875x2.25 shock?

SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC:

But if you guys wanna try a simple mod to your horizontal dropouts on a hardtail its super easy to drill a 10mm hole like I did on the Cove and then just hacksaw up to it. You can shorten your rear end by over 2 inches!

I got this old 125 frame down to 14.7" long chainstay and it now rides amazing. Looks like it was made for 24s.

Thanks. It takes alot of patience and experience to do a good job. Just go slow and do really light coats. even if it takes 5-6 coats just to fully cover the frame! The lighter coats you do, the better the outcome
