Kornphlake said:Wow it looks like it'll have a nice soft initial stroke and a really progressive ending stroke. Lots of pivot points though
agreed, there's at least ONE..hate to say this, but it looks flexyKornphlake said:Lots of pivot points though
Somehow looks very functional and the drool-factor is definately there, seems like I'm going have to be on a noodle diet for some time.
Except for the really big pivot by the lower shock mount.spoke80 said:
yes, drawings are very good communication tools, as are using numbers to count things. In fact, as crazy as this sounds, i give drawings to machinists to make parts i need, or to present stuff to people to explain things. Also, sometimes i like to count things, like '1, 2, 4, 5'....sometimes it helps me know the number of stuff, or i do it on the bus randomly to freak people out (lets play screaming numbers....five! thirteen! twenty-eight!! fifty-nine!!!!!!)Damn True said:
Correction: AND the pivot at the top rail.kidwoo said:
Yes, that does help. I didn't realize the lower stuff was track/rail as well.peter6061 said:
What like a group of riders "sponsored" by one of the oldest supporters of top level mountain bike racing in the world with some sort of "team"?James | Go-Ride said:
You asking a question like this after stating that I couldn't tell if the suspension would be progressive from a drawing :angry:Damn True said:
My guess is that it acts like a single pivot bike initially, with the lower PIVOT being higher than the axle.......it moves up and away, sliding primarily if not exclusively on the top track first.Damn True said:
Look at Peter6061's .gif, it moves backwards.Damn True said:
Which dosen't sound like a rearward axle path and dosen't seem to reflect what Yeti is saying which profoundly illustrates my point that NONE of us is able to tell what or how this thing will perform by looking at a drawing.Kornphlake said:

Actually you can tell if a bike will be progressive based on a drawing, it's not very difficult (although with this particular bike, I do think having an engineering background would help a bit). With a regular bike, it's pretty easy to tell whether or not the bike is going to be progressive, whatever link / member drives the shock will give it away pretty easily. If the link that pushes the shock starts at an acute angle to the shock, and the shock bottoms at or before 90' to the link, that's a pretty good indicator that the bike will be progressive.Damn True said:
