quotes There is not much room for the piggy back on the shock and the front triangle. You would have to make another link and the leverage rate curve would be a compromise. I have a Voltage DH with 200mm and I feel the 180mm FR is faster in rough terrain thanks to the end stroke ramp of the FR curve. You can do it but then I think it presents other problems like hang ups due to the leverage ratio at end stroke. I'd just run a FR with 180mm and slacken out the HA. Ben

'ello,
sorry to be a pest, but you seem ,from what ive read, to be the man in the know when it comes to voltage FR's??

im in the market for a new uk dh bike and the voltage fits the bill, just wondering if its possible to up the rear travel to 200mm buy either adjusting linkages/shock mounts/e2e etc with relative ease?

any info would be great chers.
