Droop? shock angle?

[NoblesvilleKid]

I am designing a tuber and want to know if it is better if the shocks are more verticle or horizontal, what is the ideal angle?

the more upright the shock is the better it will perform

I agree with him completely, but make yourself some optional shock mounts so you can try out sprung suspension too.

I ran droop for six months and thought it was the shiz. I changed back to sprung a couple months ago and wont go back to droop for a long while. JMHO

That has been my experience as well. The more upright the shock angle is the less side-loading of the shaft will occur, which smooths out the stroke and takes less leverage to make it move...
