240mm rear shock needed!!

[zumanity]

Ive seen the travel shortened on a 280mm shock. Just needs a thicker top out rubber on the shaft, but it does loose its stroke. If you dont need much travel this is the way to go

thanks man. yeah thats the same one as my mate has and they are pogo sticks.
if you push down on the back of his bike it take 3 seconds to stop bouncing!
i bought a 270mm shock but had to modify it heaps to make it fit and we dont wanna go down that path again.
