Super Deluxe Ultimate Rct

[pgtips]

Evening guys. Looking to replace my rear shock on my Rail 7. Friend said he has a spare
Super Deluxe Ultimate Rct in size 230 x 60 that I can have @ mates rates.
My bike is medium but I have plans to fit a megneg kit to the shock to stop hitting the frame.
Thing is, I'm not sure what the mounting holes should be on the replacement shock to fit the Rail.
The one my friend has the top and bottom mounts look like on the one one the picture.
I removed my Deluxe RL of my Trek earlier to check the mounting holes and after I pressed out the hollow pins it looks similar to the picture but not brass. Mine looks like maybe alloy? ( I forgot to take picture! ) The o/d on the pin is 12.7mm and the i/d is 10mm.
I know @Orangie might be able to help as he already changed the shock on his for the
Super Deluxe Ultimate View attachment 28273

You better check and make sure your not gonna hit. . The mounting holes look correct. As long as the sleeve is tight. It pivots out at the bearings. Install with no air and bottom it to check clearance

If you can make it work, it is a huge upgrade. If not, just put the meg neg on your original shock. Great support

It's the reservoir that hits the frame, a MegNeg won't change that, especially if you are adding more stroke.

Yea I gave up on that idea mate. Too much risk on damaging my downtube.

Did you swap your rear shock in the end ? I'm in the same boat as you
