    you could shoot for 33% of total shock travel, good ballpark ... but testing 110mm is most likely close

    EDIT: looks like you have 310mm (12.2") of rear travel so maybe test 105mm first and go from there

    Thanks man!

    I was surprised that the lever clamps were 5/16? Why isn't an Austrian bike metric?

    5/16 = .3125"
    8mm = .3149"
