all you need to know about PVD is that he once put mineral oil in a brake designed for DOT (might've been vice versa) to "see what would actually happen"

It's not a knowledge or concept problem. It's an attitude problem. PVD is TOXIC.

I once sent PVD an honest question by email about a technical drawing on his website and he answered : "W hat your asking falls into the 'that's a stupid question' category. Only a terrible person would answer a stupid question." Such a nice guy

There’s a name I haven’t thought of in ~10 years. Not since his bizarre Nomad V3 setup.

1/12/2026 7:07am The 2025 announcement was at least around Feb 4 because that’s the date on the articles about it. Whatever happens to Laurie, I hope he’s happy. Same for the other riders too

1/11/2026 9:39am Laurie is one of my favorite riders, really nice dude. I wish the best for him and I really hope he’s been picked up by a good team and is just waiting to announce it for dramatic effect. I’ve been checking a few times a day

7/28/2025 4:41pm threw it into linkage and the anti-squat, anti-rise, chain forces, and axle path all follow exactly the same path as would be expected, the leverage rate and forces are slightly different. ( did not find the shock size and stroke but i made this assuming a 205x60 )

2/16/2025 5:40am I’ve got some shock files (very rough) that I made from copying measurements from manufacturers websites. Cane creek has their drawings available. SRAM also makes their UDH files available publicly. You can find forks and drivetrain parts off of GrabCad As for the head tubes and bottom brackets, paragon machine works has some good ones And they provide STEP files...

2/12/2025 1:11pm i very briefly used solidworks for a couple of projects, i almost exclusively use fusion 360. It helps to model it all in one place and have each part defined by some other parts around it. just in case someone tell you they want a different head angle or slightly different pivot placement half way through the project, you can...

2/12/2025 7:33am I design it all in one which admittedly might not be the “best” way to do it but the designs change a lot so if I need to make more room for the tire, I can adjust something like how wide the main pivot is on the front triangle, and it will move everything else. The main pivot yoke gets...

12/5/2024 10:12am i totally get where you are coming from about concentric, for a dirt jumper that could be the way to go. For a trail bike you definitely wont want to go concentric. the construction is a little more challenging but the kinematics wont come out the way youd likely want it for a trail bike. single pivot layouts tend to...
