How did you find the measurements - from a datasheet? Do they include the shock mounts as well as the pivot points? I would be surprised if you could actually find this info, so you won't really know until you try to bolt it all up. The Fuel is really a beefy XC bike, and the Remedy is more Enduro, so I would be concerned that the Fuel parts are not deaigned to take as much abuse as the Remedy (I have a Fuel - it is a great bike).
