Baileyguns Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Anyone have measurements or an easy way to determine if a shock link is XC or MX? I have a Herrmann racing link here but have nothing but a stock link to compare it too... Tried calling Herrmann but it appears they're no longer in business..

D Bergstrom Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 If you place the stock link on is side on a table, then put the Herrmann link on its side on top of it, how does the shock hole compare between the two? If it is close to the same, then it is probably a MX link. If the shock hole in the Herrmann link is lower, then it is probably a XC link. Usually, a XC link will hang lower, since it will allow a longer shock length to be used to allow more uptravel due to the larger tire size. Thats about the only way I can think of, unless someone has a Herrmann link laying around that they now what is is and can give exact measurements.

Baileyguns Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Found it in my photobucket... The shape is similar but you can see a difference in bend and also in the bearing placement. It's for sale too http://www.offtopic.forum/uploads/imported/2012/10/902B8CEC-1.jpg Quote Live Free or Die http://450rhq.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/9429fda0882ce39582aff21a740157c0.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
