      Maybe a noddy question 
  On modern bikes, why does front suspension (forks) have the springs on the inside but rear suspension (shock) have the spring on the outside?
 
 Is it for looks or does one method perform better/different to the other? If it's only looks then why doesn't anyone do an enclosed shock for the rear as it would be easier to clean and might look nicer.
