Explain this to me,...

I'm looking to upgrade my shock. Cool! I know exactly what I want. Fox DPX2, I need 210x55mm. So I look around. Some places have the shock length and travel in inches. That would be 8.267x2.204"? No place not even Fox is there a shock with that measurement. WTF?

There are metric and imperial sized shocks, you need a metric one.

Thanks eMullet. So those are completely different sizes from the metrics. Hmm interesting.
