not my bike. but a fellow i helped a bit with his 2X4 design dh bike
came out cool. like a proud papa.

well since you guys know so much details,,, do you have any more pictures or details...??SlackBoy said:come on Banga, you know they aren't "made" in New Zealand
The steel one was, mullet boyeeee!!SlackBoy said:come on Banga, you know they aren't "made" in New Zealand
BCD, what is the weight of that thing? When are you going to have your frames ready? I have always liked your design.bcd said:not my bike. but a fellow i said and helped a bit with his 2X4 design dh bike

platform design shock would not help, it the rollerRik said:Mmmm, interesting. Do I remember you once saying, BCD, that the only thing that held back such a design was the pedalling interaction? If so, would the platform shocks help the design perform to its full capacity?
patineto said:the site only have a "front Page" do you have any more fotos of details...??
Hopeful you are getting some royalties out of this or at least some credit...
I confess I'm designing a "Downhill tandem" and I look at your prinsiple a lot for inspiration.
well the best of luck no matter what, you have a Big fan right here.

its vpp. true axle can go anywere it need depending on the impack.rbx said:hey bcd
If im not mistaken the advantages of split designs are that the bike absorbs a bump like a high pivot bike(bb7) but then quickly arches back in to minimize pedal feedback?
Is the viruel pivot dynamic like a vpp dsign or stactic?
Alex do you need "Hand made" renderings or computer made ones....??bcd said:i have started the drawings and am messing with fig out my
cnc mill. still some learning to do. i have to have some renderings my
Christmas.

It just seams to overcomplicate something that could get done without the use of 2 shocks and the complicated pivots.
BCD I have always been impressed with your work... You keep mountain biking moving in the right direction.
What are the shock strokes on the 2 Stage?bcd said:thanks i try.
but there is no way one shock could create a "ZONE" axle area.
have a look at the drawling again. each shock has its own high and low pivot setting the limits of the zone and allowing any movement with in that area.
i love my 2x4 but i think gearbox's is where its at.
i'm thinking the air shock is using a negative air chamber, so maybe unloaded the shock is actually at mid stroke, allowing for or aft movement. Although true enough dont really see the need for thatohio said:Love the concept and the execution looks clean, but I have to say both versions appear to use the fore-aft shock in the wrong direction - towards the rider. With the unloaded position being the most rearward, it seems to me that the shock will almost never be utilized. If the unloaded position were the most forward, that would make sense to me to aid absorbtion on big (especially square edged) hits.
Thats a very nice drawing. I love that type of stuff.patineto said:Alex do you need "Hand made" renderings or computer made ones....??
if is old school, you are in luck i can do that kind all day long
plus i do patent drawings from time to time so your secrets are safe with me..
if is computer stuff sorry but I mega S^ck at them
