Hey guys now i'm in very hardstudying period and i'm searching for bike spare parts(improvement only :cool: :thumbup: :thumbup: )....
i'm buying a rear wheel of 17 and i'm thinking to change the marzocchi mono with something more performant from some other bike.....
I noticed that the lenght of us mono is 35,5 cm from hole to hole,if i take a mono of this lenght from another bike ,this will fit or i could have problems??
all suggestion are welcome :D

You may be able to find a shock of the same length that won't have any clearance problems when mounted on the Paso, but if the suspension of the donor bike is significantly different (distances from pivot points and differences in linkage), you'll find that the spring rate, dampening, and compression rates may not be compatible with the Paso's suspension geometry......and has the potential to make the Paso dangerous to ride.

If you find a shock that works, please let us know, as I'm sure a lot of us wouldn't mind having better or newer shocks at an affordable price.
