I'm curious, I had an intense M1 (2003 or 4 model). It had the problem with the rear triangle mounting point being off by .25". You had to flex the suspension to make it bolt up. The 5th element shock also hit the frame under compression, and you couldn't change to any other shock mounting point...
Thats false. The bearings don't transfer torque (that is exactly what they are there to avoid). Please don't confuse others with your mistaken ideas, check first. Bearings and bushings are no different in terms of forces on the spindle.
I was under the impression outlaws were pretty damn light for what they are? I'm pretty sure they are lighter than deemaxes?
Yep, I'm running it in the middle hole in the back and the long chainstay setting.
Stem is a direct mount, about 40mm if i remember right.
I weigh 170 lbs and am...
Only have a crappy picture close up
here is another for the hell of it
The bike seems to be very sluggish on acceleration, I'm sure a lot of energy is going into the front fork, the shock with SPV seems to lock out under sprinting pretty well. (btw I'm comparing it to my buddies old...
yep DX32, have one on my trials bike....24" 36 hole. Never had to true it and it recieves some brutal hits (when i screw up which is fairly often). Way stronger than my azonic outlaws or mavic...f327s? I forget if thats the right number of not.
It's looking better, the round in the V is pretty much mandatory. There are a few ways to do that. Grinding the tool is one, but unless you do it very well, you will end up with a poor finish on your part. I would just take a ball end mill of diameter .25 or so, and go just deep enough to cut...
Thats not true. You can't lump all springs under your 10% theory. Most any spring can be fully compressed with no material damage. This is a case by case basis. You need to look at thickness of coil, #of turns, distance compressed, material of coil.
Chances of them walking with an flat end mill and slow feed are quite low. (no point is spot drilling for an end mill either).
The thing I see with the bolt hols going together, look at the very small amount of aluminum the bolt has to blow out. (mainly when landing hard and the bolt is in...
I'm liking the overall design.
Here is what I notice:
The model isn't to scale right now (the inner head tube diameter is almost 2") (FEA won't be accurate at all if not to the proper scale)
Those holes will be chalenging to hold a drill in (it will want to walk into the pocket next to...
I wouldn't worry about bolt strength. For example, look at the bolt on the lower mointing point of an M1, it's about 3/16".
I agree about using inter part support though. I like the design your using, however to lock it in place better (right now your machining tolerances would have to be...
Here is my initial idea...still needs a few things but its pretty much there.
Works similarly to the locking mechanism on single bolt seatposts.
Btw, how did that 5th element model work out for you?
