    Rearward travel affecting geometry?

    possibly, i think you should send it to me for further evaluation....

    Putting you foot out on corners

    not true, it's about the sum/equilibrium of forces, hands and feet, but if your bike has the same attitude and acceleration, one or two feet doesn't make a difference, the riders the same weight and traction's all the same. What makes a difference is one or two feet can change your ability to...

    G-boxx2 project

    sweet and clean, hope it comes together nice. Neat adjustable dropout design too, even tho I hate those finicky things :crazy:

    Rearward travel affecting geometry?

    i know the original BB7 had the pivot 7" high off the BB (BB7...get it?), which would give it about 8" over the axles. I think the last BB7s had 9" of travel.

    Rearward travel affecting geometry?

    as far as i know, there aren't any bikes like that. Even the BB7 (which may have the highest pivot) still reaches vertical, same with rearward path linkage bikes like the Formula 1. Maybe you could achieve it with a rail design like the Yeti, but the limitations of linkage geometry otherwise...

    Thinking outside the box

    weather it rides well or not, i love super-simplified clean design; there's some real genius there in re-inventing the URT....for better or worse. Really interesting.

    Rearward travel affecting geometry?

    woops, didn't mean "You" as in you personally, just in general. just get something badass, it's really that simple....

    Rearward travel affecting geometry?

    i think you definitely need to change your riding style. My bike has maybe as much rearward travel as the BB7, but cornering was not as affected as i had feared as long as i kept a bit more weight forward. So basically if i dive into a turn, my chainstay length gets shorter as the rear wheel...

    2010 mondraker zero dh !!!!

    the dw-link patents dont involve the shock mounting but rather the axle path (how you can get away with patenting an axle path i don't know...anywho), so it still could technically infringe. Bonus: I think the original dw-link/Sunday protos used a floating shock configuration. I like it...

    New Design for a DH Race Frame

    well I don't/haven't raced, but I've designed and built my own DH rig for my final year Uni project (years ago now), so here's my advice to you (sorry if it's off your topics, my attention span is too short anywho..): -Look at the different designs out there, understand what they basically...

    2007 66 RC2X oil change help

    no kidding, a rag taped to a long socket extension will pick up just about everything. Also you might want to cycle the carts in a cup of oil if they're really contaminated.

    Quick Releases Banned in NJ.

    even tho it seems a little much, it's kinda funny that bikes really don't follow standard machine design, like having secondary retention devices. It's not complicated to solve really, a castellated nut with cotter pin (look at Moto axles) would do this, as well as a similar retention on the QR...

    Fox 5.0 and Pedal help

    and i found the damping loses consistency when you approach that, like even in the 80s it doesn't seem like the valving works properly, feels choppy.

    between deviations in oil heights/densities and spring masses you will not have two forks come off the line the same weight.
