Thanks for the input guys.
Already some good ones there...keep 'em coming.



Yes, it certainly is patent pending.
If you've been searching for the patent application document, and can't...

Hi all,

At i-track suspension, were pretty boring when it comes to naming our bikes.
Our first prototype is called 'Prototype 1', or P1 for short.
Our second prototype (currently in...

Wow. this thing has about a million percent pro-squat.
It would bottom out on every pedal stroke!

yeah, it's a mess.

the cane creek website has some good documents on head tube sizes.

Hi all,
There are a few suspension geeks on this forum that might be interested in this article.
It's on the front page of www.i-tracksuspension.com

For those that are likely to fall asleep...

Yep, that's correct. 108mm of rearward travel.





I've only done a few easy runs on it so far, so it's very early days.
But, my first impression is that it pedals pretty well, better than...

Hi all,

Since this is the very forum that inspired me to develop this design, I thought I'd share it here first.
It's incredibly satisfying to have built and ridden something which up until...

^^^ Good question.
I have always considered vertical wheel travel to be the basis of all 'travel sensitive' measurements. So I would consider 30% sag to mean 30% of the way through the available...

I'd like to see more honesty when it comes to explaining the technical benefits of their design(s).
I'm sure most engineers behind these designs do have a good understanding of the benefits and...

Hi freeriding,

Have a read through the theory section on my website.
It's a comprehensive explanation of the topics you have raised.

Thanks for the link Vrock.
Thought i'd try and bring this thread back on [i-]track a bit. Pun intended.
Obviously I'm a big fan of these 'floating idler' suspension designs. Unfortunately, as...

weedkilla,

mate, I'm from SA too.
the 951 has very low amounts of anti-squat, making it pretty boggy when pedalling.
It's the kind of bike where you just want to point and shoot, and let it...

Geometry will be by far the most noticeable difference. Compare head angle, wheelbase, and chainstay lengths (I'm sure you know this though!).

Wheel rate curves are pretty similar (M9 very...

7.875"x2.25" (200mm e2e x 57mm stroke) DHX coil requires a 33mm IFP depth.
I don't know about the DHX air, but if it has the same diameter shaft, then the IFP depth would be the same.

EDIT: try...

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this query, but it indirectly relates to bike parts/tech.

I have an idea for a new technology in MTB.
I feel that my idea is worthy of being patented,...

But then what happens in "Case C", when the idler is ON the pivot location?
By your reasoning above, neither chainline would have an effect on the swingarm.
However, we know (apparently - I still...

this is a bit of a grave dig, but here goes:

I have spent quite a bit of time coming to this conclusion, but I finally think it makes sense.

In short, both chainlines need to be considered. ...

Hi,

Using the 'linkage' software, I've been comparing the anti-squat curves of three bikes that I have ridden recently.
Specialized Demo8 2008
Giant Glory 2008
Ironhorse Sunday 2008

Hi all,

I've done a search and can't find any info...

Just wondering if anyone has ever rebuilt the damper (not the air sleeve) of a Fox Float rear shock (or similar kind without a...

Put your rear brake on the left, where it is supposed to be!

Ok,
I took my DHX 4.0 apart about a 18 months ago and studied the internals.

For memory, this is how it works (someone please correct me if I'm wrong):
At the time, I drew a sketch of it all,...

1. Strap a vibrator to your brake line/lever/caliper when bleeding your brakes to help free any stubborn air bubbles.

2. Remove vibrator before going riding...

Hi Guys,

This thread below discusses the differences between Fox 40s over the years:
http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219371

Has anyone taken apart (and measured / recorded)...

take the forks apart slowly, piece by piece.
constantly check whether they are still rattling.
once they stop making noise, then you should be able to identify which assembly the noise was coming...

Actually, I've got the green spring (45 lb/in).
I just had a look in the manual, and it recommends the blue spring (40 lb.in) for my weight, 75kg (= 165 lb).
Maybe i'll try and track down the...
