Early vs. "late" rear suspension, type 44

[Mihnea Cotet]

Eyvind,

I wonder if this doesn't have to do with the shock's mounting thread...
something like 10mm vs 12mm for the later models... I think I also hear
some stories of the shaft breaking on the early models but I might be
wrong, in this case, please someone correct me so I don't die dumb :-)

HTH,

Mihnea
