Rear shock position on the arm

Hello again,

Which is the main difference of using the inner or the outer hole of the rear shock absorber on the arm?

I'm using the inner hole because with the foam rear tire 26mm, I cannot use the outer due the pivot-ball break on the tire.

There are some visible difference from using outer or inner?

thanks you,
valentino

But I'm using the foam 26mm, and if I use the outer hole on rear arm, the pivot-ball strike on the tire.

Any one have any tips for this issue?

thanks you
valentino

In the FK05 manual there are instructions on how to properly remove material from the arm to provide clearance for foams when using the outer suspension mount

Out of curiosity, how are you guys getting the information about the position of the lower mounting point? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's posted here as:

Inner Position
Harder Dampening and Spring Characteristcs

Outer Position
Softer (or Softer Dampening and Spring Characteristics)

Well, why the pics were deleted is old news, but I'll post them hopefully later tonight...However, I'm having a margarita party in the RV tonight, so it might be late!
