The top of the water bottle is rubbing on the shock when fully inserted. It is kind of wedged in there. Will this rubbing be bad for the shock? I wouldn’t think it would do anything substantial but wanted to see what folks here thought.

Sb140 I assume? Mine is the same way and haven’t had any issues so far.
Probably fine, remove the tool and slide it down or get a smaller bottle if you’re worried
They make a slightly shorter version of the podium if you’re concerned.
The only way to know for certain is to remove air from your shock and compress it all the way.
what bottle cage is that
It would be too much hassle for me to get the bottle out of the cage and put it back in during a ride. So I would get a smaller bottle.
too big. take the bottle out and file down the shock until you can see daylight between the two.
My one also fits similarly to that. On my bike the distance between the shock and the bottle increases when I use the travel so it’s fine, I also added some electrical tape on the underside of the shock to keep it from getting scratched.
Check which way your shock moves when you compress it, if it moves towards the bottle then it won’t work.
The frame is too small mate.
