ok, this my last post in this thread.
yes, i am indeed an armchair engineer. i also know wtf am i talking about. no, i have not founded any companies and i haven't designed any bikes (not yet that is but maybe, i've been considering this option. i am pretty sure i could design decent suspension...
?!?!? 300$ for a spring? are they fvcking high? i can get one made for 20-30$ around here!
btw don't worry, there are many monkeys who like to tinker with suspension around here but there are some tools too. if you really go and cut the spring, make sure it will have enough travel and put the...
step 1: find a spring manufacturer
step 2: measure your spring, give the spring manufacturer the measurements and the spring constant you want
step 3: ?????
step 4: profit!!1
seriously though, you might be doing something wrong if you can't set up any of those springs to your liking or you...
daisy cutter - no, i haven't ridden any of the bikes mentioned here nor am i saying they don't ride well. for the last time - i (and i don't recall anyone else) never said that any of the mentioned bikes in this thread are crap. i am only trying to point out what could be done better and what...
you do have a point there, you can also ride home on a flat 2-ply. i guess it depends on the pressure you ride and how much sharp rocks is there, i never actually pinched my front tire on the trail (happend a few times on stairs and curbs but i never had to panic stop because of it).
my trails...
legends leverage curve is well suited for air shocks (it's degressive at the end so the air spring ramp up takes care of that). i believe it should be a great combo.
:rolleyes: the second chainstay actually makes some sense on the latest demos. on the knolly it really is - yo dawg, we heard you like your shock to be driven by links so we put a link on a link to drive your shock.
this has always bugged me too - why would one want to build a front wheel with a 600-700g rim and a 2ply tire? :think: i understand that there are places that would actually require this but in most of the cases it's unnecessary. saving weight on the rotational mass of the front wheel can do...
nobody's saying it doesn't work/is unreliable - it's more complex and probably heavier than necessary, there are extra sets of bearings to change when they die.
if it really is a fsr patent workaround (if it's not it's plain nonsense aiming at tool customers with no ability to think...
