Just looking for some experience/feedback from folks. Any thoughts welcome :)

I am 6 foot 4 and I currently have a 2016 transition patrol 2 in size large but I am thinking about getting a 2024 tr11 in large to get into downhill biking. Will this be a good fit

Hello again all, a few days ago I posted here asking for input about size M or L Sentinel or Scout. Thanks to all who responded, I certainly heard a lot of different thoughts! There's a good deal on a large Scout in my area, and at 5'10" I was initially worried the long reach of 485 would be too much for me, but I'm thinking maybe the really short rear end would help balance it out. For anyone specifically riding a large Scout, how do you like it, how's it fit compared to how tall you are?

Thanks all!

hello everyone, my sidluxe shock has 2 long scraps along the way of travel and it's leaking oil, I did 200hr service recently and it didn't help, its still leaking. I couldn't find damper body for 45mm of stroke, only 42.5 and 47.5 mm available. can spur accommodate slightly longer stroke shock, like extra 10mm of rear wheel travel? or I can just slap 2.5 mm travel reducer in and call it a day? cheers
