My great gran pappy monster garaged these puppies for me. Any cool pull shock stuff still being ridden? Havent seen anything original for long time!
fixedHere's a design I came up with-adjustable BB height, shock snapping position, etc. Pretty simple design. You can also easily switch to a longer travel shock.
Anything that would "snap" that shock would most likely also seriously damage the down tube on any given number of bikes. Personally I'd rather replace a shock than a frame but that's just me. It would take an awfully large odd shaped rock or log to tear that off the frame, even with the suspension fully compressed. I imagine it could potentially happen given the right circumstances, but it's probably pretty unlikely. I'd be more worried about wear and tear on the shock from dirt, mud and small rocks than anything else.fixed
pretty sure that bike doesnt use a pull shockPull Shock bike:
Ancillotti DHP 2008
15^ place at the last world championship at Commezzadura.
It uses a compression shock. Ancillotti calls their linkage system "Pull Shock", probably because the swingarm link pulls the shock rocker arm which then compresses the shock. That style of linkage is pretty common in the motorcycle industry.
Sorry, but it does, here is a better pic of the bike:pretty sure that bike doesnt use a pull shock
Yep, and that better image of the bike shows pretty clearly that is NOT a 'pull shock'. They custom build their own shocks & have the reservoir positioned in a pretty unconventional way, but thats about it. It's basically the same suspension design as a Brooklyn RaceLink.Sorry, but it does, here is a better pic of the bike:

I actually saw that bike in person way back when- one of the owners of Barracuda Dave Southwell showed it to me- scary stuff. It used the same Works Performance pull shock as the old Buell Schwinn bike. Believe it or not, they had another prototype bike that used the same shock that was even more scary.this one is sweet:
Yep, they call their suspension system 'pull shock'. BUT... The shock absorber that is used in their so called 'pull shock' system is a regular shock absorber that could be swapped out with a revox, DHX, Avy, CCDB or any other conventional shock with the right eye to eye & stroke. (save for any clearance issues with the reservoir)

I hope that you can see the difference in the way the shock is actuated by comparing it with the other suspension designs pictured in this thread that do use a pull type shock absorber (notice the spring hanging out one end on the schwinn & yeti?).
Wouldn't surprise me. From reading the website I get the impression that they like to do things their own way. Interesting that they spec Marzocchi up the front, thought they might have had something a bit rarer & more exotic to match the rest of the bike.I thought I read somewhere that you could only use there shock. something about an oddball EyE to EyE, and something with clearance issues
Haha Vena got Pwned by clever marketing. I like ancillottic drawing ties to suspension bridges and parachutes in describing their supperior suspension deezine.
Thought it was something like that, In all honesty thats really the only ting that turns me off on there bike, Proprietary rear shocks are teh Devil. specially when you have a problem and need service!!!Wouldn't surprise me.

edit: i2i = 228mm, stroke = 68mm for thier DH shock - so yeah, oddball size.
nope... it was a great design imo. Had both the 6 & the 8Is something wrong with me, because I actually Dig the Schwinn/Yeti design
Not a pull-shock. Though it is a proprietary (super-annoying) shock.Scott Ransom Carbon.
Whatever happened to this guy? Lots of machining went into these puppies. To bad the shock units were ticking pipe bombs that would always explode at the most convenient time, I carried 2 extra JIC. Even with todays advancements in shock tech, my version of merts bike still seems to sit in its sag better than similar designs currently using compress units. Planning to revisit pull shock system for the end stroke of other bike I am hatching together. Working on rigging up something rediculous to look at for vegas, tired of looking at the same crap every year.
14 inches of travel... scary...
it actually had a higher BB than my cheeta did!!!
i never beleived it possible...
Sooooh, any more cool pull shock **** out dere? Hoped frankenstien jr would have poped out wit some bling by now! Until then gotta give props to GSR, ran into the man ages ago somewhere in cali, admire him and his work.
