Just wondering if anyone has made their own extended shackles? I was thinking about having a go at making a set. |

It's not too hard, but often they don't really help much, and can make your ride worse. I am no expert, but basically a 2 inch shackle extension will yield about 1 inch of lift. Longer springs are helpful too, as your shackle angle will change, suiting a longer spring a bit better. I say go for it!!! |
