How much rear suspension travel?

You're right, of course, but I'm not sure why (mathematically) :(

I'm trying to use trigonometry for the first time in quite a few years ;) The shock is the hypotenuse of a right triangle and the unknown vertical travel is the adjacent side. So 8 * .866 (cosine of 30 degrees included angle) is six-something inches.

Obviously I am modeling it wrong... my lights just came on. The 30 degree angle is only valid at one height. As the shock compresses or extends the angles change. My brain hurts. :realcrazy:

Let's do this the easy way - does anyone know how much rear travel a Dart has? :rolleyes:
