OK, maybe I'm missing something in this tiny image, and I'm not really sure just how to word this
not knowing the terminology to describe it, but where is the freedom for movement in the rear sus?

It appears to have no pivot point, and the seat post etc all seem to be firmly attached to both the
beam across the top, and to the beam up to the seat post, and to the frame going to the rear wheel.
Where is it actually suspended?

Sorry, it was just the angle the photo is taken from. This one here
http://brooklynmachineworks.com/gallery/images/fsbmx3_big.jpg shows how it pivots.

Hmmm.... Interesting. Wonder how it would go down at the local BMX track with the purists?

But it does screw up the suspension because the chain pulls up on the rear axle with this placement
of the pivot (which they are truthful about). What it does not do is vary the chainstay length so a
chain tensioner is not needed.

Nice for street and jumping, I guess, but unneccessary for the smooth as butter BMX tracks out here
in the west.

Ok, I understand.

It's too far down to tell.

Maybe when it passes you will be able to answer the question.

Let us know.

Um thanks dude, new to this news group lark.

I am guessing troll refers to someone that lurks here just waiting to start trouble. That I am not
....well not intentionally.

I searched the net for the term barbed and got so much on fish hooks ....still did not twig!

Back of the Usenet bus for you!

I'll let you figure out who's holding the rod (not me).
