IMPORTANT!
It is not possible to use this geometry chip with other shock models than the FOX
Nude /FOX Float CTD. The shock might collide with parts of the frame or linkage bar.
Models originally equipped with another shock than the FOX Nude /FOX Float CTD
will have a chip with a centered shock bolt hole.

find a Shimano E-type front
derailleur but fixed directly on
the swingarm without the plate
that is fixed normally between
the bottom bracket bearing
cup and the bottom bracket

Please note that you always
need to use the adapter plate
attached to the bike or frame
set between chainstay and
