    Linkage forks for DH

    Is constant trail desirable? As far as I can tell you want a larger trail value for straight line/ higher speed stability then have your trail reduced to something more manageable for corner entry. It seems like a constant value would be a compromise in one area. I don't see why that couldn't be...

    2010 Glory build, w/pics...

    Very true, the slacker your HA gets the less your steering input gets to the wheel. Also the slacker your HA gets the more your trail measurement reduces when you turn the wheel. So slacker is not better for all situations

    2010 Glory build, w/pics...

    A static HA measurement doesn't really give you all the information you need to definately say how the bike is going to ride. It'll give you an idea but it is just 1 of 3 factors which effect the static trail measurement which is the measurement that directly relates to stability of the F...

    mtb suspension on dirt bikes?

    If you have access to Google and a few minutes to browse you can find some patent info and spy shots of a blue 2010 bike with a very similar engine set up.

    Can you really scrub a bike?

    Assuming the point of "scrubbing" is keeping your tragetory as horizontal as possible and maintaining forward momentum, then you can accomplish the same thing by getting behind your saddle and absorbing the jump. On a moto your not getting behind the saddle. But an old school BMX chin on...

    Th effects of fork offset and trail on handling.

    A little linking from that site got me here http://www.msgroup.org/forums/mtt/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10229 I've never seen this put into graphical form, but this is an interesting fact that many may not know. Basically the slacker your head angle the less steering input you have, one of the...

    Th effects of fork offset and trail on handling.

    I'm not sure this subject really has a concrete answer since there are multiple variables which can all produce very similar results in the end, and even though the end results are similar, different set ups of the variables can make small improvements in other areas that may work better in...

    Udi's shimmed boxxer

    I'm assuming if you had 6 shims total that they are 0.1mm thick. I've fooled around with crossover stacks like you are running without much success. Remember, there are shims on top of the bolt that act as a low speed rebound circuit. Try this stack: 1 small against the piston, then 3 big, then...

    Udi's shimmed boxxer

    What kind of bike is this for? What is the main rebound shim stack? Outside diameter and thickness? What is the smaller rebound stack?

    Udi's shimmed boxxer

    Can you imagine Robbie Gordon wheeling his trophy truck out of his million dollar trailer and hopping up and down on the bumper, then crawling under the truck to click his dampers. Amusing thought.....:biggrin::biggrin:

    Udi's shimmed boxxer

    Rumor has it that Myles won the Mt Snow Norba in 2000 with a completely blown rear shock :crazy: (something was making a racket when he came by me) so I guess you could argue neither are absolutely needed, but I would agree if I had to pick one to be with out I'd keep me rebound. Though while...

    Udi's shimmed boxxer

    Rant on... Where did this fear of LSC come from? My guess is adjusters that don't actually do what they claim. Anyway, spring rate is the most important adjustment you can make, but LSC is by far the most important damping adjustment. With those 2 spot on you could almost forget about the rest...

    Proper Pics of the GIANT GLORY 09!!!!

    Looks real nice.......Giant is doing some beautiful stuff with it's tube bending/shaping capabilities. I saw a $300 bike at school the other day that looked like a $1500. That being said I've personally seen big bike companies push around the little guy and it sucks. Fight the Power Dave! (I...

    2008 Fox 40 set up help.

    I agree 100% I know this is kicking a dead horse, but... that bad feeling came from a variety of other factors such as poor set up & improper design not from the actually technology. From a damping curve standpoint a CV/t or SPV shock has a much rounder initial curve, as the shim or valve...

    World Championships - Val di Sole

    I don't know how many of you have been watching Speed TV's coverage of the AMA Nationals but Jeff Emig has commented on this a couple of times when asked how James Stewart can do the things he does, like make 2nd place look downright slow. Jeff's comment are that the top guys just process things...
