I have a 200mm e2e Manitou shock on the back of my Giant Reign but was wondering if I changed it for a 205mm one if this is possible and what will go wrong?
Both are 50mm stroke. Cheers.

Is there enough clearance to squeeze an extra 5mm length in there?
It can be done on many bikes - my patriot frame came with a 195x57 shock originally, but can *just* fit a 200x57. Head angle is slightly steeper, and BB a tad higher... but nothing to actually affect the ride IMHO.
