I See its got a fox van on now? I Suggest a Newer Style Fox DHX (3,4,5) I Think The Only Difference Between them is Amount of Adjustments, But i Dont Know Much About Coil Shocks Sorry. What i2i Is The Shock You Have On Now?

to be honest i dont really know i know it can have 5" or 6" travel on shock but not sure if that helps

do you think josh as in i dont exactly fancy my mounts cracking for having the wrong shock on it

Would have to get the measurement mate, measure the whole shock with a ruler and that will give you the i2i Measurement, hopefully it will measure more than 200, its rare to find one smaller, i was looking for a DHX5 195mm i2i, but i gave up haha, good luck anyway mate.

When i was looking i got told to give up because there hard to find in that size, 3 people told me.

google search brings up loads, not 195 but 190 - i searched 190 though as thats what we were talking about

Why would you suggest he buy a new shock when, by your own admission, you know f*ck all about them?
and it's 190mm i2i

Not know him, but i was looking for a coil shock, and i seen his ad and knew mine was 190 i2i so i messaged him but he insisted his was 195mm i2i so i gave up as that was too big

Stumpjumper, i was going to get a coil to give it 30mm more travel on the back (150mm) but didnt think i could get one to fit after he said it was definitely 195mm i2i

it's a 190mm shock on the patriot, i used to have one of these frames, end of discussion
and a fox van shock is fine, if you don't know what you're talking about, you might as well keep your mouth shut.

He was looking for upgrades and i have just told him what a good upgrade will be and dont bullshit and say a fox DHX (3,4,5) wouldnt be better than an old style van shock which he has now, and i've just told you i used to think it was 190mm i2i but i got told different by someone who knows more than me so i took his word for it, and at the top i said i dont know much aba coil shocks but you dont need to to know the one i suggested is better, at least im trying to help him so stfu you bell end.

ooh, big words from a kid there
i didn't say a DHX wouldn't be better, however i'm saying that a fox van is an alright shock, if you don't know what you're talking about, don't go around giving other people wrong information. There are probably better upgrades he could make anyway, such as brakes.

Tbh mate i didnt see any big words, i dont know what im talking about? and you have just agreed with me, go on sound and wrong information? tell yeh mate that then (K-Forbes) because i've always said it was 190 i2i until he told me otherwise.
