MikeW Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 Hey all. Is there a way to lookup what the sizings on a Giant anthem 3 2017 model rear shock? Looking to replace it, but not sure what stroke,size needs to be. It is currently a rockschock delux rt trunnion mount, but not sure what I need to start looking for interms of replacement sizing.
droo Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 Just measure it, mounting distance (between eyelet and trunnion bolt) x stroke (let all the air out and compress). If it's a Deluxe the size will be printed on the damper body. Why are you replacing it?
MikeW Posted March 22, 2022 Author Posted March 22, 2022 Ok thx, i'll have a look if anything on the side. Im struggling with understanding under what conditions to measure between eyelet and trunnion bolt. Top bits all move. Replacing because it doesnt lock out anymore and cant get replacement parts.

Have you had a proper suspension techie have a look at it? If it's a damper shaft issue replacing the shock is pretty much all you can do, if it's just a standard issue blown damper you can get it serviced for a fraction of the price of a replacement. Either way, keep up to date with service from this point on. 150 hours or annually. It'll save you a heap of heartache in the long run.
MikeW Posted March 22, 2022 Author Posted March 22, 2022 Well, I hope he was a proper technie. 😀 My understanding was that there was a piece he could not source due to age of shock. I'll give him a call in the morning to understand the exact terminology. If i know the size I can do some of my own research as well to understand better what my options are I suppose. Thx for the guidance though, agree that it needs to be looked at annually. (Theoretically I did, but it was a second hand bike)
Alouette3 Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 Send the shock in to Droo to check out if you not sure what's going on. He is our suspension wizard Stoke Suspension Worx
