I have an idea, over the last wee while, i have been drawing simple bike designs, to find out new ways of shock positioning and compression. This also incorporates the look of the frame and functionality. I propose that every day or every other day i put up a couple of photos of a different design. What do you guys think?

I will say this first,

ALL DESIGNS ARE COPYRIGHT TO ME AND ONLY ME, MY METHODS OF SHOCK COMPRESSION ARE REVOLUTIONARY AND HAVE NEVER BEEN PRODUCED BY ANY OTHER BIKE MANUFACTURER (or at least i think so, and im not sure on this one) (also they are not really copyrighted or patented but id like to think so, and like t think no one would copy and run of f to a bike manufacturer with my ideas, that goes to the bike manufacturers themselves too, any of them who see this post i would like to think they would not come to work the next day with my ideas)


So what you guys think?

so long as you do a quicker job of posting new bike designs than Vic-Tim or we will have already seen them everywhere else first

cheeky bugger!

Ill start tomorrow then, oh i might be a bit on tht actually, might be thursday depends, im doing a bit of a photoshoot with Jonesy from Dirt mag tomorrow!

I wouldnt let any mags see that, they will say the seat tube angle is half a degree out

LOL,

Now Im no engineer but dont see how that works. Understand swing arm is on the lower pivot. But surely the upperlink for the shock is mounted in two places on the swing arm so its not going to change position unless some slider mechanism is involved and your not going to get that off of yeti.?

I wouldnt let your physics teacher see that unless you want extra lessons!

"why should I give you £3000 of my kids inheritance for one of them, It's rubbish, I'm out"

sorry Dom I came over all Dragons Den for a moment there

Thanks Iain, great to know you all love them before you have even seen them, but remember that some needed a bit of work, this one included

Randomly I was thinking about this driving into work.

What you need to do is make a 2D paper model of your suspension designs and then attach each peice with a eyelet to simulate the pivot point.

That way when you move the rear swingarm to simulate wheel movement you will be able to see ( albeit roughly ) the angles and movements of the suspension ( if any ).

Just a thought

Thts actually a cool idea, you know wat ill do is once ive put up wat i think r the best ones i will get everyone to vote on a poll and illl make the top one

First design previewing in new post

you must have a really long commute now Tim
Dom - I was only joking with you again, I was watching repeats of Dagons Den on Dave at the same time as browsing the site, sorry.
