A coil shock with a leaking seal?
No notable progress.
I'll say for enduro, I'll choose the coil, even though air pedals a little better and is faster in a few situations, being able to maintain traction in janky off-camber is just hands-down better with the coil, so still, hands down better...
Lighter bath oil really seems to be the key there.
Lol I do one bike manufacturer suspension repairs and tuning...( Prototype had RIDICULOUS side load)
I had 6 shocks with the shock heads ripped off of air cans or cross threaded...trunion had 6 bar set up and ate shocks...had to put one in vice and use channel locks to remove air can ..

That is a nice one. Brings me down memory lane from early 2000's Plattekill.
How rad is that! @Gary might correct me but I'm pretty sure that dude used to ride on the old Animal team with Peaty etc. Reminds me of a BMW/Superco heaps
Fender too close to the tire, unreideable.
Good thing I will only look at this bike.
peaty wasn't on Animal. Back then peaty was on MBUK (pre-GT and hitting big time) Team animal and MBUK did a lot of stuff together which may be where you're getting that idea. Team Animal's most successful rider was Tim Ponting. 3rd fastest brit behind peat and Warner. The kitchen brothers ride for them along with Steve Geal legend. A Bmx World vert champ in the 80s then went on to ride mtb in the 90s (V. Well known in the UK for Dirt jumping) he rode the World Cup DH circuit for a few years for Giant and team animal/playstation back when Animal was South West (England) based. Racing Duel, 4X and WC DH. He'll be 52 now (same age as me and Rob Warner) and still has amazing old skool style dirt jumping. Tora isn't his brand but a brand he now rides for (local to him) . He did have a DJ frame brand (G-bikes iirc) for a short while in the 00s towards the end of when the UK DJ scene was still big.

Scott.And i guess you're not allowed to disclose what lizard comp it is
hopefully the kink/weld in front of the BB between the 3D printed part and the downtube will not be a stress raiser

Aren't the Atherton bikes 3d printed? At least their frame intersections, right? Haven't been really paying Athertention. Ha, get it?hopefully the kink/weld in front of the BB between the 3D printed part and the downtube will not be a stress raiser

Yeah, none the less, interesting manufacturing practice. Let's hope it holds up. They're not too far from me. I'll czech them out.
I am not lol.. but they did change it so we won't be seeing catastrophic failures all over..
I did chat with the trinity MTB guy (Ian) and I am excited to see this gear box high pivot come to life.. several years in design before setting up it's I believe in gen 4 right now for prototype...pretty badass

Unno-
Back at the races!
We are stoked to introduce the Primal Unno Project, a world class UCI Downhill team for this 2023 season. The team will be formed by Angel Suárez, Ike Klaassen and Niko Velasco.
The racers will ride an EVER prototype, a bike developed in Barcelona with 125 geometry possibilities. Also, the we will be preparing a documentary of the team and the bike development.
Angel ensures that the bike "has the perfect balance between stability and handling", and he has managed to get similar chrono marks than the past year despite he has only spent a few days on the bike.

If designed and welded properly shouldn't be a problem. They do have the advantage of sleeving the 3-D printed part into the tube giving extra strength compared to a butt joint in a tube to tube weld, all else being equal. The lower shock mount can also act as a gusset tying everything thing in the BB area together.hopefully the kink/weld in front of the BB between the 3D printed part and the downtube will not be a stress raiser

So got a raw front m16 triangle the black one had 2 stress cracks the guy I got it from is working a deal out with me to make good...there's some difference to new triangle wasn't production unit.
Yeah clean through weld into triangle...maybe needs more support on gussets and laterally support..bb hangs out and back so cornering and landing wrong will twist the hell out of that area.
Cracked my M9 there...

Isn't that all of them from one to the next?
Someone should make a frame like a SRAM brake rotor. Entirely different geometry for every 10 degrees of temperature change.Isn't that all of them from one to the next?
Raw m16 to black m16 lol..and yeah he likes to mix it up..but there's differences between the 2 m16A...Isn't that all of them from one to the next?
Relativistic frames FTW.thwir length changes with speed.
