Replacing rear shock on a 2008 Giant Anthem frame (3.5 inch travel): Model number??
Hi can someone confirm what is the right replacement rear shock for a 2008 Giant Anthem Frame? This particular year carriers the Fox RP2 3.5 inch travel version (Maestro). I see many on sale on Ebay and elsewhere but with different diamters and overall length and wonder which one is the one I need.
Thanks,
Francisco

You need to measure the shock stroke, in inches. It normally measures from the bottom of the upper cylinder to the center of the lower mounting eye.
