Thanks for explaining, it's always great when the makers of cool stuff come and join us here to answer questions and fire up the stoke.
I asked because 130mm is like the middle ground where you see some manufacturers go to the 210 standard and others stay on the shorter side. Agree 100% on avoiding trunnion, it's so much easier to replace shock bushings and hardware than messing about with frame stuff or suspension rebuilds prematurely. Interesting to hear your take on _less_ stroke being beneficial in this package. For years (typically with the introduction of metric shock sizing) we heard about how longer stroke to travel was the way to go.
Any plans on getting this back East for a tour? I can imagine it would be like the perfect bike for a lot of stuff near Chelsea.... although I'll admit I wasn't keen to ride the main over-the-rock line on Bill's on my 120mm bike when I last visited!
