On the contrary, if you’ve got the time and patience I would highly recommend doing the math instead of using linkage. You will learn a lot this way. Kind of like it’s good to learn calculus before just using calculators to solve calc equations. It probably sounds more daunting than it is, but leverage ratio is just the derivative of y axle position so you can solve for axle position as a function of shock stroke and whatever other dimensions you might be playing with and then you’ve got everything. Once the equations are there it is way way faster...

I think Creo/ProE is used by lots of the big boys (and Asia) due it's powerful surfacing functionality. To make those carbon frames purdy. But it is absurdly expensive, last time I checked it was something like $15-20k a seat, with $3-$4k a year renewal cost. Solid Works is less expensive, but not by much. A really good basic CAD/CAM package is Fusion 360. You can get it monthly for like $70, they even have a free 30 day trial, and have tons of on-line tutorials to help learn it. I had never used Fusion before (but do have 15...

This, i think, is actually a moto-component. Obviously, there’s no problem to figure out how to mount it on a mtb. Mic Williams and his buddies at Trinity think pretty open-mindedly and do come out with some pretty neat solutions for their bikes (and not only theirs, actually!).

Not necessarily a rumor (or even an innovation for that matter), but Dave Weagle's DW-Link patent is about to expire in the US.

So far, I am impressed. I only have a few rides on it, but it was very easy to setup. The factory recommended settings have been a good starting point. The breakaway force is minimal for an air shock which I am a fan of, mid-stoke feels well supported with good range of adjustments, and I haven't had any harsh bottoms out. It simply works well, which means I haven't had to think about it much. I'm going to do a day bracketing to see if I can get more out of it, I'll report back afterwards. My only complaint...

How do you like Manitou shock? I hear really good things about the Mezzer but you almost never see the Mara in the wild.

won't disagree that there's health benefits in many cases, but pretty big assumption to make that this (or any person) has any weight to lose. nothing wrong with product innovation to accommodate a broader range of body types.

it is my educated opinion, after looking at the photos, overlaying in linkage, assessing & comparing the kinematics with my extensive catalogue of images of Sam Hill, numerous CAD reverse engineering and plugging the outputs into my google supercomputer I have come to the conclusion that BIKE LOOKS FUCKIN SICK!
