Just had the first ride today. Checking for bolts unthreading and signs of failure while hitting bigger and bigger huck to flats. Not to the point of bottoming out mind, still don't fully trust the bike. Really love how the bike feels so far.

mk3 is the updated mk1 haha. Still some problems despite changing suppliers. Really have to be there in person to guide the work to get what you want. Language barrier is a problem too. Bike is very usable though despite the flaws. Hopefully it's strong ... more »

Also, sprocket loosens over time. Guess I'll need to put loctite on it

Lol, made me check the bike. Fortunately that's just a strand of teflon tape.

Finally had one made. Using a 3/32 surley 15T sprocket. Works as intended.

Happened to one out of four of my dhr2 dh casing too. After a few rides It now holds air but will still deflate faster overtime than the assegai dh casing it's paired with.

I thought about that. Should save a bit of weight as well hah.

Yeah, need to make sure it clears the crank arm and frame. Will be 3d printing one for testing as soon as the sprockets I ordered arrive. It should be an easy fix though, just make the lock ring thinner etc. it's for my own bike design so I'm able to

I think melonhead is saying the longest stroke you can get for a 230mm shock is 65mm. a trunion 225x75 shock is shorter than 230mm so it's possible to use that for DH application, might not even need to change the rocker.

The Kavenz bike is another production high pivot horst link. If you follow their social media you would have came across the incident when they had to redesign their idler location moving it from the chainstay to make it concentric to the main pivot, ... more »

148mm rear hub 56/56 headtube 63.5HTA BSA78mm This is a high pivot horst link bike similar to the GT Fury but with a more rearward axle-path and higher anti-rise. Yes, this is the MK1, the MK2 was the result of a long lockdown during the start of the ... more »

It's quite plush but feels like lacking midstroke support. Also feels like hitting an abrupt wall deep in the travel without nearing the bottom out. Returned to about 28% and feels just right. Cool looking bike by the way. Is the 3d printed one actually

Don't notice a clicking noise, but it does make a sloshing sound. Rebound is way too slow on mine, I need a retune.

Based on the leaked catalog picture, there seems to be enough room to run a shock with a longer stroke, say maybe 75mm. Based on my own bike design, the rearward axle path will make enough clearance for 200mm or more travel. The only problem will be ... more »
