AgrAde Added a comment about press release Alchemy Sine Suspension: It’s the Sine of the Times

4/2/2022 8:59pm
The Arktos is so linear that the whole sine thing is pointless. According to linkagedesign, the "progressive" part of the leverage curve for the 2018 Arktos is a grand total of ~3% progressive.

AgrAde Added a comment about press release BikeYoke Launches the Barkeeper Stem, Topper and Aimy Accessories

Amongst a bunch of overpriced, mid-weight stems machined from a lump of average aluminium, overpriced mainly due to the name of the small-fry manufacturer that produced them, this thing uses processes that are proven to produce a stronger part and totally pushes the boundaries of weight and then lays out its test results and explains its shortcomings in the marketing blurb. Dope.

AgrAde Added a comment about feature GREG MINNAAR, 2021 World Champion - The Inside Line

Sick piece. I love how it's not just a sit-down with Greg. Re: the question about making a high pivot VPP frame. For a paper for my degree I designed a high pivot VPP enduro frame, and the kinematics/axle path/tunability on paper are all f*cking dope. I have no doubt it would perform, but it's hard to make it work in smaller sizes because there's only so low you can have that top link. Having travel north of 170mm could be a problem too, compressing the VPP linkage into a smaller space means it's gonna get very progressive.

For the dropper? It was what was floating around. Didn't have the insertion for my long-ass 170 brand-x and I couldn't be bothered throwing the reverb into it! I don't really mind giving up the dropper travel (down to 150) cos it's the sickest bike I have ever ridden. Trust fork is interesting, great for high speed corners. A bit unpredictable on really slow technical stuff. Still getting used to it! I've got it to review... And I'm gonna take my time with this one.
