Changing rear wheel travel at merdia e160 775.

[MeridoshAD]

Hi friends.
Has anyone tried to change rear wheel travel? From 150 to 160?
Is it even possible?
Bike like the levo's has the cascade option.

Warning: I don't have and never have had a Speccy. (But I have messed about with shocks).

Some shocks have a travel spacer. Alter that and you alter the travel.

But first: Release the air from your shock and fully compress the bike. Check all round to see how much space you have. If you need another 10mm, then look for a bit more (say a total of 15mm) between the tyre and the seat post, or between the top of the seat stay and the seat tube.

Because the shock will be tilting forward a bit more, check that there is space between the shock body and the down tube.

I've been wondering the same thing. You MAY be able to fit 225x75 shock but I have not really measured anything. That would also raise the bike and potentially cause other issues. I'm not aware of any other suitable trunnion sizes.
