Shock
The Spindrift frame is compatible with most of the shocks available
on the market (with the correct length and travel). Nevertheless,
there are exemptions which is why Propain always recommends a
check of compatibility when installing a new shock into the bike.
Compatibility check
When installing another shock into the bike, you have to make sure
it is compatible with the frame. The most important point is to check
the specifications of the new shock.
It needs to have the following specifications:
Shock length:
230mm
Shock travel: 60mm
Shock hardware top and bottom: 20mm
Mounting bolts:
M8
If the specifications are identical, the shock can be installed into the
bike to check if there are any points of contact when riding the bike.
Points of contact could damage the bike severely, which in the worst
case could lead to a crack in the frame and / or a crash when riding
the bike.
