very nice . I'm running magura's too . found them to be a realy nice fork for th emoney
|
|
is that the guy who knocked my door that night?
|
|
it's so people can avoid it at all costs
|
|
|
|
|
just behind the seat tube . connected to the silver link plate . very short travel shock. i would lower the plate and make it longer.
|
|
|
|
i got a paint program that does 2d rendering.
|
|
|
most of the old urt designs had 3 bar design.
|
|
hey done it . i've put a rendered version of my design on
|
|
|
carbon fibre shock cover like on MX bikes? merkel your getting better . HOw ar eyou uploading these i can'r sem to be able too
 |
|
|
wrong 3 bars do work . look at the old DB-X10 that worked
|
|
|
see . together we could design an awesome bike
 |

and it would move as you have set the Main pivot point for the upper linkage is the same distant from the main pivot of the lower swing arm ; ergo the two plates will take parallel arc through the travel if the upper arm is shortened so the connection is at a right angle to the arms Vector.

it won't move as it is now.........LOOK AT THAT LINK PLATE .......it will just flop up and down and not put any force on the shock. At least move the link plate so it is travelling parallel to the Arc of the swing arm so it pushes the upper linkage.
The main swing arm at the moment exerts zero force on the Linkage plates ; and never will as the little blue link will just rotate up and down around the pivot on the upper swing arm . The lower arm will just smash into the upper linkage. If it ever were to move it would be trying to extend the upper linkage and not compress it. That would mean you need to attach a pull shock extending upwards just above the main pivot connecting to the upper link plates. You can't just shove link plates willy nilly . get a bit of card and make a mock up . Then you'll see what I mean. |

nope just remove the silly little link plate between the two swing arms. That would give a direct link so it won't flop about. THEN it will work . as it is you'd need 2 shocks working in diffrent ways. I'm trying to upload a good frame i knocked up in 20mins.
|
|
|
as it is the shock just floats round doing nothing until the frame bottoms out . the shock needs to be mounted to a non moving surface to work.
take the "A" part away and mount the "C" part to the frame to work |
|
|
|
|
no the swing arm would hit the top link before the shock is moved
|
|
|
to many linkage plates . Use a direct pivot point on the "C" shaped link to the "A" shock mount . Again as it is it would just be all floppy unloaded.
|
|
you need to ad a pull shock on the chain stay pivots to control the swing arm . It would link the two pivot points on the lower swing arm . as it is it would just flop up as soon as the bike is placed on the ground and then drop down when the bike lifts . That would cause extra stress around those points ; leading to fatigue and eventual failure . nice idea.
|
|
|
wont work . Check then recheck some of those linkage angles
|
|
top plate is wrong way round. invert it and place the pivot point lower and nearer to the seat tube.
|
|
|
wouldn't work very well . pivot points would need refining. but ok
|
|
nice but i want the apollo XC20 girls in the racking
|

sort your bars out mate , they are angled all wrong. Sit on the saddle , place your palms on the bars, your fingers should rest on the top of the break levers . You should have a straight arm from the top of your shoulder to the tips of your fingers. You should then have the bars angled with an up and back sweep to open your chest so you can breath deeper ( this position opens up the chest cavity allowing your lungs to expand) .
it's a none to bad bike just needs upgrades, e.g different rear shock , brakes and forks . Be prepared to do a lot of wheel truing too. those alex rims ding very easily . |
|
me thinks the forks are a wee bit to long for that frame. looks like 130mm for a 100mm frame.
|
|
you would be better off with Z1 QR20's rather than 55's head angle would be steeper for better control and wont put as much pressure on the welds round the head tube which could cause a failure to the frame . Just my pennies worth.

ooooohhhhh yeah ! Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout. sweet dude .
