Just noticed the new YT Capra 29er comes in two shock stroke options (60mm and 65mm). Immediately checking to see what stroke size comes on the 2018 Intense Carbine, it is, in-fact 60mm. Just out of curiosity if a 65mm stroke would fit, I fabricated two mounts, one to mimic a bottomed out 65mm stroke shock (on the LEFT) and a bottomed out 60mm stroke shock which is standard for the Carbine (on the RIGHT).
Long story short, on paper, the 65mm stroke option clears but only has 6mm spacing from the seattube. Wondering if it would still clear, even with wheel flex from a carbon wheelset.
Side Note: I know it will effect the way the carbine pedals but the extra 10mm of travel is worth a minor loss of pedalability for me.
Opinions and thoughts are appreciated!
