Hey guys, I've often felt this, but have always thought I was just imagining things. Until I read about it in MBA that is.
Essentially, on my XC bike I have a 36 TALAS, and when I drop the travel to climb, it feels like the brakes are dragging. It's really annoying, to the point I don't bother using the travel adjust, and at this point, I feel I probably would have been better off getting Floats for less money and less weight....
But then I recently saw this on MBA's website: http://www.mbaction.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=&type=news&mod=News&mid=9A02E3B96F2A415ABC72CB5F516B4C10&tier=3&nid=36AE7CB13BEE4B0EB022AD811B740B42 describing the same thing.
Basically, in their review of the Remedy, they said they noticed "drivetrain drag" when they lowered the forks. So I'm not alone! But in the on-line discussion of that comment, RC doesn't really offer an explanation, or nothing conclusive anyways. So I'm not sure what to think. Any suspension kinematic "experts" out there care to elaborate or hypothesize?
