if thats a hole to mount a torque arm for the brake, then that 1 bolt would get yanked right the f out of there. its a super small hole :biggrin: ....plus why not put it in the back of the bottom bracket shell, instead of the front. its a easier routing to the back of the shell. dude

you looked at the wrong post. dude

Just there b/c the part was designed to able to be extruded and the factory threaded it like on the drive side. No floater necessary.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

That's awesome. Peggy busted those out herself..

dude, what a terrible placement for a floating brake mount. what were they thinking?

 

[xy9ine]

can also be a mount for some bashguard?

yeah. a bb mount bashguard for doing trials. a very versatile bike, this. the delta suspension is optimized for doing pedal hops & such. expect an ot pi signature model soon.

 

[General Lee]

Think i could use that hole to mount a set of Truck Nutz?

I hear the new giant will have integrated truck nutz.

 

[SuspectDevice]

I'd be happier if they integrated Tegan and Sara.

 

[Bicyclist]

yes boss, sorry boss.

Hehe.

 

[P.T.W]

if you look close you can see the offset shock mount. it sits left-of-center to help balance out the weight added to the drive side of the bike. kinda' cool.QUOTE]

At the rick of commiting E suicide...an i say this with my tounge VERY firmly planted in my cheek

Didnt giant do this with the Glory?????an its been out for donks(whos coppyiny who now???):biggrin:oster_oops:

Seriously tho..thats a hawt looking bike an goes right to the top of my hawt list

 

[stinky6]

Im sure is Evil is going to be making a trail bike, but when? I'm curious because wasn't dw and skatodd the brains behind that slack 6" Ironhorse that Sam used at Sea Otter? If so maybe Evil will make that kind of trail bike, that would be great. Sorry if this was mentioned earlier in the thread, I just didn't feel like reading every page of it.

 

[dw]

The holes on the BB are not for a floating brake, there will be no floating brake on the bike. The BB is extruded and the hole is part of the extrusion.

Pretty sure the Giant bike has the shock straight on center, or close to it. The Revolt is offset quite a bit.

Maybe this has been covered already....

But does this bike have the floating axle/split pivot thing.....if not, then why not.......?

Nope, it doesn't, it was planned as a DELTA bike from it's first inception. The DELTA system is owned by Evil, so that's the technology they are incorporating into the models.

 

[IH8Rice]

maybe cause bikes were fine without it for years....you are talking about ABP right?

are you and trek still hung up in court over the abp/split pivot axle?

 

[William42]

The offset on a giant isn't the much, but its there. Doesn't look quite as gnared out as the revolt. It seemed like it was almost as much for drivetrain/crank clearance as anything.

 

[Albion]

Since we are looking at pics, here is the shock mount on a Sunn Kern:

 

[Cant Climb]

Yes APB....sounds like a good idea on the internet here. Not sure how much effect it would have out on the trail....was just curious if he was using it. Doesn't seem like he got much use out of that idea to this point...maybe Trek has something to do with that, i don't know.

Hey neat, some decent pics of the linkage.

Humm... i could not care less for the linkage, the thing is fascinating - makes me wonder why Commencal went for the flat top tube

Looks super clean. Curious what the main pivot is like... obviously super wide (and scuffed from use), but wondering what the assembly is.

No, that's actually scuff marks from a wacky sized allen key used on the protos. Already changed for the production bits.

Steve loves this very large allen key. He tells the story of industrial supply tool places to everyone who asks about the bike.

What is that, like 12mm?

Care to share this story?

 

[ska todd]

Bingo! Changed for production though. Off the top of my head, it's an 8mm moving forward.

Come Release, Hold me back! that looks, and sounds fantastic, looks pretty privateer friendly too, not too Skimpy.

but what about the stooooooorrrry???? I love story time from the bike industry!

 

[Transcend]

It's only a story when Steve tells it. Otherwise, it's just a hard to find 12mm allen key.

Yea well you run an e-magazine, here's a good opportunity for an interview.
