Even the fancy ones??
king runs his at 27 degrees, says he's never had a problem in over 75 rails....
27 is my understanding as well. But 2 degrees isnt significant. They will run over this for short periods but they dont like it at all.
You can run them there if you want.No way in hell will I tho.
All that matters is they don't bind. You can forget the degrees all together, just let the suspension fall to full extension, and if you can feel any tight places while you spin the wheel, you need to raise the wheel up until it rolls smooth, then raise about another 1/4" or so and set your limits for that point. I recommend not using straps, they stretch all the time. What I do is measure the amount of shock shaft showing, and subtract that from the total stroke of the shock, then have a spacer made to go inside the shock to limit it. My 14" stroke shocks were limited to 13.5" on my old rails.
Seems to me like you could use this method to get as much as you can get. I would guess the CV's won't see much load at full droop.........
correct, which is why I like it, you can run it at close to the limit all the time. You always have to error on the safe side with straps, so limiting wheel travel an inch or so of full extension is necessary to prevent them from over extending while your at the dunes and not realizing it. Straps will stretch 1 full inch per 12", so your typical 24" long limit strap will stretch 2", and since the strap is usually mounted farther in, a little stretch equals more wheel extension. Example, if the strap is mounted in the middle of the arm, 1/2" stretch equals 1" additional wheel extension....
Ugh..... No straps for me.Are the fox shocks Ok with hitting full extension, and limiting travel that way? Do they have any sort of cushion inside there?
