Hi - I'm considering a frame change in the near future, and am currently running a 200x50 DPX2, ideally I'd like to take this with me onto the next frame but that runs a 210x52.5 - is it possible to make this kind of change in eye to eye length and stroke, or would it be too expensive to make it worth the hassle?
The next frame but that runs a 210×52.5
Not a Specialized by any chance?
Fox can change stroke length on OEM dpx2s, coat me about £30
But I don't think they can change eye 2eye
210x52.5 is a "metric" shock, I think its a 210x55 with a 2.5mm spacer fitted to limit travel.
200x57 is one of the older, non -metric sizes. You'd need a different body/shaft I think, wouldn't be cost effective.
I’m after a 200x50 dpx2 for my Hightower if you want to do a deal?
Changing the eye to eye on a DPX2 is expensive. You need a lot of parts to do it and its not really viable.
Assuming a 2018 DPX2 you would need a new inner shaft, outer shaft, sleeve and body, plus a full service, to go from 7.875x2 to a 210x55
Inner shaft £5
Outer shaft £18.95
Sleeve (non kashima) £74.95
body (non kashima) £31.95
2.5mm spacer?
Full service £119
