Yes, I rode it to the top of the OHV road on Mt Antero and snapped that pic before heading back down.
I keep waiting for someone on RM to start their own company re-hashing products from 2009. It is actually a good business model that has worked for products in markets like India.
Woo could buy all the tooling to make a Totem and sprinkle some lightness on it.
i have 2 joplins still sitting around. at least one of them is in a semi functional state.
also, in spite of (or as a result of) all the ass-hattery we have managed to learn something about said future product.
my 2006 gravity dropper was 100% fully functional when i took it off after 10 years of constant use with only yearly maintenance. longest lasting MTB product i've ever had.
Just get a Higgs field modifyer off of Ebay. You can power it with an Ebike battery.
Dammit I always miss the cool technical threads before they go off the rails into OT.
Someone is eventually going to make a successful linkage fork, I just know it, since it can fix 3 main downfalls of the current forks; binding when subject to real world impact vectors, flexing torsionally due to trail features causing unintended steering, and the cost of the large magnesium lower casting. IMO a linkage fork that doesn't use a conventional set of lowers should be a lefty (or righty) design since its going to be too difficult to prevent binding in the over constrained linkage otherwise. You could make a much more conventional looking fork that solves 2 of the issues I listed above by using conventional lowers with a larger bridge with the linkage mounting between the bridge and steerer, it'll just be quite the engineering feat to package something in the space that doesn't result in a completely jacked up axle path.

With nuclear fusion.
@Adventurous Am I the ex-downhiller turned ebiker or is that Gary?
