  1. If I were to buy a bike with 13" of rear travel, if I put a Marz shiver DC with 8" of travel on the
    front, would that work?

    Cause I was thinking maybe you would have to match the same amount of travel front and back, or if
    need be put more travel on the front than the back?

    thanks

    It would work but, yes, it is better to balance the front and rear travel.
    IMO. Back to thinking about the Army? You could always get the Super Monster for it. ;^)

    Mike - Eight and eight is good for me.

  3. What has 13"?

    I thought motorcycles came with front forks?

    No bicycles that look like motorcycles usually require some assembly.

    Mike - Now how the hell does 'tab A' go into 'slot B'?

  7. Which bike has a set-up of 13" of travel for the rear tire.

    David - now wording sentences with travel, very carefully...

    the 2003 YZ250

    and this one:

    Mike - Someone's overcompensating ;^)

    Which I forgot to mention is shown with a Shiver DC to answer the OP question.

    Mike - again.
