@carlinojoevideo you have a set of Dorados on your bike and some gyroscopes for DAQ, right? Would you equip each of the dropouts (left and right) and the topcap with a gyro if you have enough gear to make it happen? Theoretically that way, if they are all synced, you could see DS dropout rotation around the axle axis caused by the braking torque (good point @TEAMROBOT) versus the NDS and comparing both to the top cap you could see how much torsion occurs Not sure you could see yaw of the wheel with the gyros, I'm afraid that might...

Frameworks sea otter bike check with Fox usd fork

If y'all ever want to test what real torsional flex feels like, just take a usd fork for a ride with the pinch bolts loose 😬 The different front axle configurations are interesting, iirc intend dropped the 20mm option because it didn't yield a significant gain.

Other Fox stanchion color options for the U.S. suburban market:

Hey all, learned a lot about bending and tube shapes in this discussion. To your point, clamping a tube is extremely effective at preventing rotation, i.e. the handlebar/stem interface or seatpost/seattube interface. No one makes hexagonal seatposts or handlebars, because bolts and clamps seem to work just fine. Not a lot of rotation if things are clamped down properly. I disagree with @TheSuspensionLabNZ (which doesn't happen very often, or ever?) that the axle of a USD is not experiencing significant torsional loads. I think the front wheel on any MTB fork is experiencing tremendous torsional loads because of one-sided disc...

I actually hope this USD fork excitement brings the revival of the all mountain Lefty. Maybe Im the only weird one on this.

Towers are not tall enough. Said to be a new 32”. Going to be called MegaSkyScraper. Remember me as I just leaked the companies biggest news. Theyre coming for me.

There's a chance he is so fast because he wants to finish before his cranks explode.

They dont hold asa back

haha you are right and I am sorry, I didn't mean to derail the thread so much. All I really wanted to do was defend Enduro as I agree with a lot that has been said above, it's mainly a perception issue, so I am trying to shift perception and bring some positivity into the discipline. That was the reason for the Jack/Sram comment and trying to make it less about Sram pulling Enduro funding, and also the Chris Ball comment, which did not go over well, but that one I'll accept and I will keep trying with him. I'll...

Starting between 60-80, but without a measuring tape, some callipers and the bike in hand I'm afraid it's just my guess. I keep churning results of about 40-50% progression out which can't be right either.

As somebody who's tested this variable back to back on the same chassis (not two totally different forks), the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. Maybe we need to do a fork stiffness deep dive like the excellent frame compliance analysis Burney did. But in short, forks also have roll and wag. Everyone usually thinks of only wag and they test it with the wheel between the legs, but I'd argue this is only a valid indicator of stiffness during full braking on dry pavement. In this situation, the hex axle can offer a small benefit in reducing wag, but in...

Similar to the Enduro patent drawing found a while back...

Here is what I drew up, it has a pretty high anti-rise, axle path is rearwards for around 2/3rds of the travel. all the fun stuff

Possibly related, in the recent MBR video about the new Levo, there is this foam model next to the one of the designer's desks: In the (possibly relevant) rendering above the models, it looks to be a bike with a single crown:

I know what's going on down there. Give me 30 minutes and I'll have a rough linkage model to post

Man that forbidden Eeb looks good, ticks all my boxes. A frame option would be sick if possible. Also lol'd at this, tip of the hat from Forbidden to us goobers. "Darwin once stated, “The crab is the highest form of evolution.” Alright, we made that up, but there’s no doubt you’ll recognize that we’ve gone to a new suspension layout on the Druid E." That chainstay length is banana's though, my Range VLT has a 462mm rear end and it only gets shorter through the travel, for me even with huge stack it's a touch long. 470mm on the...

Msrp of fox suspension in europe is about the same price as the intend essential fork right now so, its close already. Often easy to find deals on fox though. But if they are selling the production version like the one in the pictures, with cnc'd parts, its probably close to the regular intend stuff

Intend are going to seem like a bargain when Fox reveal that pricing of that bad boy
