not forces on the shock. blunt forces as in landing a jump. Instead of all the force being directed into the toptube like the prophet and canondale having to have thicker wall tubing to handle this. the forces are first redirected by the linkages down to lower parts of the bike where it makes...
I have one, personally its been a great frame to learn on. Its handled all my grommy antics. Ive beat on it for 3 years and it has never wavered. The geometry is "middle ground" its slackish(for a jump bike) makes the bike less twitchy(less responsive) which is good for a beginer. The frame is...
Yes, but by using beefy seatstays to handle some of these loads alot of those stresses are reduced. As in the seat stays are designed to take most of the left and right forces while the chainstay is just there for axle path and tension forces. Im talking in principles and relativly.
This...
It works and it makes sense. The chainstays are only under a tension force i.e being tugged backward by the wheels travel and we know materials are much much stronger in tension rather then bending or compression and so yeti is able to use only one chainstay.
I feel your pain. Its simple comon sense sometimes.
take my dirt jumps. Yes there are in a public area which is the biggest problem but some jumps are better than none, right. Its winter here at the moment so the clay rythems are very soft. Common sense would tell you not to ride them. the...
Everyone was posting their repainted sundays so i thought id share mine. The colours called Hot Chilli red. I got the graphics made at a local sign printers.

Interested in doing it if i send it over from new zealand haha. Im probably going to try this mod. Just not sure what will happen, as the shock will be on a sunday which requires 1/3 the low speed compression of normal bikes.
hi there. Im currently in the process of building a four pack, rhythem style. Im just wondering what other peoples techneques are for working out the spacing between the jumps, length of up-ramp, length of table(span) for a given height etc. There are no experienced dirt jumpers in my area. The...
