Im talking abvout like in the image. Is that a good form of suspension or should I go hardtailMampara said:Are you talking about suspension seat posts? Cane Creek and USE make some.
Or are you talking bout somthing like this?
Its an old design from the 90's...I remember Specialized and K2 offering this set-up..the S-Works model was quite expensive but essentially just a cromolly frameAshika said:Im talking abvout like in the image. Is that a good form of suspension or should I go hardtail
I'd go with Hawkins,i,ve seen frames crack with full linked,suspension,and under normal cross country riding no jumps and single track.either opt for hard tail or go modern suspension system with lockout.j.r.hawkins said:re: photo: In the absence of any actual joints in the frame apart from the shock, it seems to be reliant on frame flex to give you the suspension.
I'd be rather concerned about fatigue failure at the welds.
Go with a more modern design.
this design was state of the art back in the day, however, I'd worry more about that non-replaceable hanger...one good hit and you can throw the frame away, or go single speedHowardSteele said:I'd go with Hawkins,i,ve seen frames crack with full linked,suspension,and under normal cross country riding no jumps and single track.either opt for hard tail or go modern suspension system with lockout.
Nice looking hardware,LOOKS VERY COMPLICATED,but i do notice a universal link which probibly allows some swing.Mampara said:Litespeed is also experimenting with a pivotless swing arm but they did flatten the stays so that they could flex.
