If you are incapable of seeing when a single shear design is perfectly appropriate, you are obviously lacking as an engineer (yeah, we've heard you talking yourself up before). Out of the thousands of frames out there I have never seen a frame or bearing failure at that point.Yes because single shear seat stay bearings are pro yo!. Clearly you must weigh no more than a feather. I'm talking about modern SC frames, not a 2006 v10.
It's not an opinion that unlocked single shear bearings are rubbish, it's a fact. This is why I stay away from RM, rubbish bike manufacturers and fanboys make me angry, I'll see you in another year (don't get too excited).
No it won't.I get the resistance generated by the air, though I don't get the sprint rate recommendation. Sag at 30% from one shock to another will be the same spring.
you do know who you are dealing with right?I feel this wait is getting a little unreasonable.
And on the subject of the bearings, which is the bearing which sits inside the h link?
(is it the 4 x Spherical bearing GE1017 SP?)
1 x delta link right
1 x delta link left
2 x H-link
1 x flip chip right
1 x flip chip left
1 x upper shock bolt (Cro-Mo) right
1 x Lower bolt M6*P1.0*20mm (left)
1 x rear shock bolt (AL7075-T6)
4 x Spherical bearing GE1017 SP
8 x H-link pivot bolt
8 x H-Link pivot shaft
2 x 3rd flip chip bolt
2 x 3rd flip chip shaft
1 x DT pivot bolt
2 x DT pivot washer
1 x DT pivot cap
2 x bearing 6901 2RS 12*24*6mm
1 x DT bolt M8*P1.25*20mm
Thanks! That is the DHX RC4 base tune? Earlier post I was asking about my rear suspension set up, I have a DHX RC4, Canecreek Ti spring 400# 3.00, (i have adapters for the canecreek spring to fit the fox shock). I was having trouble setting up the shock and had to up the HSC just as to not bottom out even on hits that were not super huge. I weigh 150-160lbs all geared up and will give that tune a shot. On another note, I picked up a RS Vivid r2c AIR with the low compression med rebound tune. Any advise, recommendations, experience, opinions on the vivd air with the undead and setting it up? I have searched the interwebz hi and low but found nothing in regards for setting up either the rc4 or vivid air on the undead. Anything I found sent me to this forum and some people on here seem very knowledgeable and friendly so I thought I would give it a shot.I got it from Kev himself, but he said that it is in fact a mistake .
Where do you live Prestondh, the kits you can get from you local distro.
It should be HSC:2,HSR:2,LSC:12,LSR:12
Your bearings shot too?PrestonDH, thaose settings were for the CcDB that I listed.
Unsure who your distro is, as Udi suggested, it's best to contact evil as they are very responsive.
They are kindly sending me some new spherical bearings, while the wait for the new ones to be manufactured .
Result
22x10mm both ends. 22mm wide and 10mm ID.Also, what mounting hardware kit/sizes would I need for the vivid air r2c as I currently have a dhx rc4? Thanks!
Correct tune would be the same as what was correct for the Revolt, but they spec'd the wrong one for that bike (as with many others), in this particular case because they assumed it had ~175mm of travel instead of ~205mm. I think the correct (coil Stoy) tune according to the way they spec them should be ST02.I'll give it a read now. I have spoken to the suspension Gurus here in the UK (TFTuned), who said that the DB would more than likely need a lighter spring.
ps: I have a 50lbs heavier spring to play with
pps: I'm not married to the idea of a CCDB yet, just have one laying about that will fit. I'm still hankering towards something BOS I'm assuming that the progressive tune ( ST tune) would be the same as the revolt?
I thought you quit riding DH?anyone selling a new, Large frame?? msg me..
Back in business?anyone selling a new, Large frame?? msg me..
Would like to hear your CCDB settings, about to start using mine.Feeling great on idylle coil and CCDb .
I thought you quit riding DH?
Anyways, if you want a new frame, perhaps hit up Evil or Fanatik Bikes in WA.
Well it has been 1 year and 1 week since I blew it out. I was undecided after my injury. I didn't know how my knee would feel and turn out...Back in business?
In fairness the RC4 really needs to be de-BV'd to suit this frame - whether that's an old one with the BV removed or a 2014 version. In factory guise it's going to be too progressive at EOS and probably detrimental on square edged hits as a result.I've now come to the conclusion that I dislike the RC4 and got rid of it. It works well in relatively "less taxing" situations, but faced with numerous successive roots / rock gardens and square edged hits, the shock just could not keep up with my fork which slowed the bike right down.
Fun in poppy situations and on bermed swoopy tracks, but that's about it imo.
For CCDb I'm weight 167lb with gear. I'm use 400# spring and for my setting LSC little ~ 5 click ,HSC 2turn , LSR for your weight , HSR 2.75 turn ,all from full open . It amazing bike for front and rear shock .Would like to hear your CCDB settings, about to start using mine.
