Is that for the top or bottom bones?

The consensus seems to be go a bit heavier on the bottom, although it depends a lot on where your shock will mount.
I went 25mm x 2mm (ERW) on the bottoms, and 19mm x 2.5 (CDS) on the tops (because I had some more than any other reason!)

Cheers

I used 19mmx2mm seamless for upper and lower bones, 8K miles of bumper cornish lanes and still fine.





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
