Yes, only because the forks i wanted were only available in 170. difference is barely noticeable - flat corners feel marginally worse to turn in but i do wonder if its probably more of a confirmation bias thing going on in my head, not convinced i’d notice if it were a blind test.....:p

Description About 6 weeks old, bought and realised I could get longer still so now have the 210 version.
boxed with unopened shims etc
My reason for thinking its likely to be ok, is these shocks all start as the same (230x65) and are then spaced down according to the particular frame and travel requirements. So if you take the spacer out, i can’t think why the stroke would not work dueto a lack of internal clearance. External...
ok i understand, your query is more about the thru shaft aspect. No, have not done it on a thru shaft version sorry. Though my gut tells me would be ok - but you’ll want more reassurance than that! Sorry for missing the main point...
You can cut these off and increase travel, yes. Although see other threads for clearance issues on certain shocks/frame sizes when the stroke is longer than 57.5 (y)
I tried a 230x65 2019 X2 on my large rail knowing it wouldn’t fit but to try and work out how close it would be so i could get the stroke reduced accordingly.
conclusion was i needed about 7.5mm to come off the stroke so would take it back down to the prescribed 57.5 stroke, but in the end even...
Yeah any weight that moves the ‘spring’ is the sprung weight, any weight that doesn’t is unsprung - pretty much only the wheels on a bike are unsprung.
i think the way the e bike moves the spring with all it’s additional weight must be a factor to be considered, it’s quite a ‘dynamic’ movement...
Hob Nob what you going for now? If i’m not mistaken you’ve tried the EXT.... plus the Push 11-6.....so presumably now air of some sort?
I’m also not convinced these bikes have the right leverage for coil, for a number of reasons. Not to say there aren’t some things to like about coil, but also...
There will be a 2.5mm spacer on the shock shaft internally, open it up and snip it off. ( ps i’ve not done it on this particular shock but have done on others).
