There is a 26" and a 650b Wicked. Different frames I'm pretty sure. Never heard about running 650b in the 26" frame

The shock yt told you doesn't match up to whats on my wicked 150 (26) thats sat in the garage. It says 200x57 in a LH tune on the standard monarch rt3 that came with it.

BIL has one, in 26'' guise. He bought it as it had a good selection of components for the price. I was impressed by how light it is. It made my liteville look very overpriced

aye, when they were still quite young company, prices were astounding!
not astounding enough for a budget biker like me mind, but i wanted one nevertheless. anyway now i've got one, frame was a bargian i thought, probably partly due to original cheapness.

extra bits now ordered up; 40mm stem, hub converters etc...

in case anyone's researching this later, i got confirmation from YT that shock is as jakebeach says (not that i doubted it)
200x57 in an LH tune.
