Actually, I think it was @jonKranked who proposed something similar on moarshimz.com a few years ago.
Trust me...
- Thread starter dump
- Start date
Shoulda fucking patented it then. He's gonna miss out on a lot of money. And you know DW will fight you in court over some IP.
These guys are not messing around.

Done. I'm going full Whitworth. Not exactly new, but it will help cement Great Britain as kings of the mechanized world.
I hope it has a threaded headtube, I'd love one of those and a straight 1.5" steerer so I could get rid of my Intend Stiffmaster.
Maybe with all the extra money on board DW can just make a clone of a Giant and have some fun in court.

and then there's this. Did I just scoop you guys with a 2 month old mag I picked up at Interbike and finally looked at.?
i have to say, a rather odd review.

or is this what you're talking about? Eapplicable for sure
No, I've posted about that a number of times in several threads
this is the one you were referring to as moto compatible?
Dammit!!!! Abort Abort!No, so you should probably stop pm'ing him for advice on missing links
I just donwloaded the Linkage program too and it started asking me for patent info or i wouldn't be able to restart my computer.
Seems pretty obvious tbh. I can;'t believe nobody has mentioned it yet.
Linkage forks boys, linkage forks. Telescoping is teh sukzor, and we need forks that don't bob when we pedal and don't need to run LSC to compensate. And they're gonna be ultra plush. Then, in another 10 years, we can realize that we don't run LSC for pedaling, and start bringing it back in a "linkage fork! now, with LSC"
Sometimes you people are slow.

Someone’s been reading the amp special on Pinkbike. I did already say suspension
Guys, I have just figured I out. The baseball caps, the shirts... They're forming a boys band.
And judging for the repercussions this news piece has had outside the
, we're meant to be the fan club.

I think you are on to it here, years ago everyone decided that 2:1 was stupid for the back end because break away force was increased and shaft speed was too high, a 1:1 fork is obviously going to be twice as bad!
Maybe a second shock for vertical movement so we can huck comfortably? It's not fun on slack bikes as they are no good for vertical impacts.

I don't know what amp special is on pinkbike, but I believe you that its a thing! And come on... You can't claim "first" for saying "suspension" thats way to vague! That's like saying "I got a big scoop guys... it's going to be related to them trying to sell something possibly. It might even be bicycle related!"Someone’s been reading the amp special on Pinkbike. I did already say suspension
I'm claiming first for claiming that its a linkage fork. You read it here first. Not from that dump guy. He don't know nuthin.
@William42 sure, claim ignorance. Look what was posted on pb today: https://m.pinkbike.com/news/now-that-was-a-bike-1993-amp-b2.html
Heheh.
In truth though, a linkage fork is way up dw’s alley.

Hah, I genuinely hadn't! I tend to not look at pinkbike real often, and when I do it's just for rad videos. But given the timing, looks like somebody else knows what's up!
New idea - adjustable seat tube angle.
Somebody did do that on DH bikes back in the day, used rod ends. Mountain Cycle or Karpiel maybe?
If this is not an elegant solution to the flat tire problem we all face I will be disappoint. It's the biggest unmet need in MTB.
e-motorcycles not selling huge amounts? who knew?
Bummer about Alta... they looked cool.
MX is quickly becoming a spectator sport though. I was in Moab a couple weekends ago, and I think I saw one 2 wheeler.

Intense did it too in its horst link days, and not just with dh bikes.
