I'm doing some research and would like to hear different opinions.

If you put the bottom bracket in the swingarm like in the picture below. Will this add the riders weight to unsprung mass in the rear? If so how much and would it make a difference for the worse?

Are there any advantages for putting the bottom bracket in the swingarm?

Thanks.

Yes, it does, do a bit of research on URT suspension to learn about its perks. Teh only advantage is no chain growth.

probably enough metal to hide the embarrassment of riding that bike?
