I'm 5'-9" with a 30" inseam. I dropped the shock with the oem adjustment screw, but haven't messed with it other than that. As a matter of fact, I increased the spring pre-load a little bit for when I'm carrying luggage.
Here are a few shots to show you I fit just fine with my little 30" inseam . . .
This was from a beer chug race

(that I won, btw)
