Schnitz sells em, not so much for height but leverage ratio changes so the bike won't waste as much energy squating compressing the spring off the line, unloading the tire on the shift, and altering the balance and traction....
way cheaper than a shock...
Has anyone used the Adams straight link?

I talked with Dell from Adams Performance and he said the straight link gives more ground clearance but doesn't effect leverage.

The reason I ask is that I rode a guys 14 that just installed one. He is running it with the stock shock. I noticed that his shock was more compressed and straight up than mine. His bike only has 2" of clearance over the tire and it did not rub at all. The suspension seemed way more stiff than mine but according to everyone on here it should have no effect on stiffness. What are some thoughts??

If the straightlink compresses the shock more whenever the level of the bike is the same, wouldn't it make the shock stiffer because the spring is compressed more?
