I sure hope this is a joke... If not, then, well, you don't need it. I think it's mainly for a hardtail... sort of similar to a suspension stem. Those sucked, so I'm guessing this will too.

We used to sell those at our shop about 10 years ago,..... wait let me rephrase that,.... we used to carry those at our shop.

I think we might have sold one. It broke, came back and the other one sat there until I left the store a year or so later. Didn't see it when I went back to visit.

They were a joke back then...

Don't get that. Why do you need more travel when you already have 10 inches? What makes you think that it will improve the V10? That is just crazy and it won't improve the bike whatsoever. Don't waste your money and spend that hard earned cash on some awesome components.

It is still a joke...

Do you guys actually think someone would seriously ask about putting one of these things on a DH rig?
:help:

O well. With some of the other hair brain ideas I have seen on other forums I can't tell. I need to stop going to pinkbike.

Actually you can :mumble: :drool: :rolleyes: all you want about the concept, but a swiss guy call Phillip perakis won the downhill world cup in 1992 with a suspension sistem very similar to this (far more primitive actually with only 2" inches of travel) made by a company call ATZ and riding on a hardtail Cilo frame outfitted with a rear suspension adaptor...

Hopefully someday we will be :mumble: :drool: :rolleyes: about some of the current designs,, actually I'm already doing it about the santa cruz super 8, the trek Y-bikes among a few others , is just matter of time until things evolve to new levels, i'm just glad i'm being around (on the side lines of the full suspension until recentlly) and i can witness the evolution of the concept and technology.

being riding MTB's for about 25 years already.
