Wouldn't that be similar to an Evil Revolt? Look at the function of the links. It looks like a reverse moto link.
On the Splinter, is the "dogbone" mounted between the swingarm and shock link adjustable in length?
Face, Chase, whatever. One of the main things is that the head tube have a proper lead in chamfer. All headset cups have a tiny radius at the corner where the sleeve and the cup meet. If the frame isn't prep'd to allow for this you can crack cups, esp. King cups. This is acchieved easily with a...
Rearward travel is really only a benefit in the initial part of the bikes travel. It's all about functioning geometry not this static sag or just rolling the bike around. When you ride your bike it finds it's equilibrium. It' slike being neutrally buoyant.The geometry present at that time is...
The King headset is a nice piece of precision machining. However, if you don't apply that same amount of precision to facing your frame before you install it you will likely have issues. The King headset doesn't use the same centering cone that a true A-Headset does so if the frame isn't prepped...
When I think of Trek I don't think of Lance Armstrong. I think Of a company who for years shunned the current style of "freeride" or "DH" riding and basically said it was for meat heads. I think of a company who for years has made absolute crap in terms of mountain bikes. I also think of a...
The shoes are Shimano DX, you can see the DX pedals in the first pic, and the bike is a Slayer SS. RM calls it their slopestyle bike. He's not riding XC he's just climbing Fromme, check the Joplin post.
That particular bashring came with spacers and long chainring bolts to space the rings apart. They haven't made that one for a couple seasons now, likely because the lexan and the aluminum ring will actually separate from impact. Did you even try to contact MRP? Go to the source and save...
This thread is full of speculation. In my opinion the Giant design is different. It looks similar but is quite different in it's function. The mid to end stroke of the shock and movement of the links is different. The Giant bikes spend more time in the "sweet spot" of the links movement, where...
Doesn't the IC migration path have a huge part in the patent? Doesn't the Giant IC move through and past the "DW zone"? My understanding of the patent is, regardless of most other aspects, the Instantaneous Center of Velocity must cross paths with, but stay within the 2 pivots of the lower link...
That frame is made by Astro Engineering in TaiChung Taiwan. They are also the, not so well known, manufacturer of the earlier Honda bikes, among others like GT and Mongoose, Mondraker and I could be wrong here but I think they also have something to do with Azonic. It looks eerily similar to...
