Ive heard that there is an inherent problem in adjusting the length of this shock due to the fact that beyond a certain point the bottom mounting eylett will foul the dogbone on full compression. Has anyone else heard/experienced this? Ive heard of a fix which envolved routing out 2-3 mill from the top face of the dogbone to allow the extra movement/travel. Anyone got any thoughts on this :dowhat :dunno

It will foul if at full extension of the shock, i would prefer to remove a bit of the shock bottom and the dogbone, i don't see that you need full extension for the road mate as it will be to flighty on bumpy stuff, full extension is 10mm
