I believe the less upward travel suspension is due to the rear dogbones having less horizontal space to travel or even binding when the suspension travels up and down. Lesser sideway movement due to smaller rear trackwidth.
So "cheating" with 2x1mm spacers to make 200 mm rear trackwidth would still create the possibility of making the rear suspension bind, does it not? The hubs would still be closer to the chassis even when you used spacers at the wheel hex adaptor.
Yes, but what I meant was more in relation to the pivot balls - I run a 200mm rear track with the spacers, so I gain an extra 1mm from the pivot balls being screwed further and therefore less likely to be pulled out. I wanted to point out that although this would limit the uptravel (as I'm effectively running a 198mm track width), that at this width it will have very little effect - if you see what I mean?
