You are correct I just check and there is slight contact when the suspension is fully bottomed out. There is a very small mark on the frame from the can hitting. I guess I will flip the shock around as you have. Thanks for the heads up.

I've just bought a DBinline as well. BUt when fitting it the same way as you do, I see the aircan is just barely hitting the top tube when bottoming out. If I turn it around, with the adjusters and switch side pointing rearwards - it's no problem. But I really want to turn it the same way as you have it to after mount the remote coming this summer. What is your experience with the aircan?

beb - exactly.... Any suspension design that requires the shock mount to rotate; Genius, Voltage, most Giants.... The difference on this bike was night and day. I wasn't impressed with the DB inline until I added the needle bearings. The angleset cups slacken the head by .7 degrees to 66.1

Nice one - thanks for the reply. Thinking of changing to a db inline myself (Currently got Rock shock monarch e.i. on a Lapierre spicy); how have you found it?

DBinline is awesome (with the neddle bearings), feels more like a coil than an air shock. Great for small bump but can be tuned to take the big hits. Perfect shock for enduro.

very nice! What types of sus design would you say benefit from the needle bearings, I'd imagine it would be ones with lots of rotation where the shock mounts to the linkage e.g. vpp? and did you slacken or steepen the HA, and by how much?
Cheers!

RWC needle bearings fit ion place of standard DU bushings, no mods needed. They make a huge difference on certain types of suspense design, the Scott Genius being one of them.
