HowardSteele Posted March 31, 2016 Share "Though the group is enthusiastic about the future of metric sizing in suspension, each company says it will remain committed to supporting its imperial shock sizes as long as market demand is relevant." Like the States is ever going to give up Imperial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droo Posted March 31, 2016 Share Like the States is ever going to give up Imperial. Like 26" was never going to be phased out... Smells like another obsolescence crusade by the industry to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge_Design Posted March 31, 2016 Share I've always found my 165mm shock significantly outperforms my 6.5" one personally so I can fully agree that someone misunderstood the April part of April fools... RocknRolla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baracuda Posted April 1, 2016 Share I am the biggest advocate of the metric system, but in this context, imperial just sounds better. I would rather say "I have a 6 inch Pyga" than, "I have a hundred and forty three millimeter Pyga" Would love to see our head of state describing a downhill bike Ferro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
