This was sick with some great creativity. Definitely saw a few things I’ve never seen before

That was sick. Makes me want to put a front brake on my dirt jump bike and go get weird.

If you’d like some of the benefits of this fork, why not have a telescopic fork with an offset that’s achieved through the angle of the fork itself like that X fusion inverted fork. You’d get that shrinking offset as the fork uses its travel, but without giving up nearly as much comfort on landings.

With a 34 tooth chainring, probably. But most people run 32 or 30 which will bring those numbers back up

Right but the trend of increase AS increases pedal kick and decreasing AS decreases pedal kick is generally the same, they can’t be tuned independently from one another

You’re sort of right. A high single pivot bike with 100% AS in a 32/10 combo will have a bunch of pedal kick (especially if it’s longer travel), but that pedal kick is negative, and actually occurs when the suspension extends instead of compresses. AS is a phenomena that has more to do with force vectors than actual chain growth, contrary to poplar belief.

It’s honestly not more independent. Adding AS adds positive pedal kick and taking away AS adds negative pedal kick. The same as any bike.

I think you’re absolutely right. It’s a 130 bike so you will (probably) spend most of the time on less steep terrain where spending all your time in the middle of the cassette makes more sense

“The pivot and idler placement can also nearly eliminate pedal feedback” this isn’t entirely accurate in the case of the Druid. The graph shows a “traditional bike” with about 13° of pedal kickback, which is typically true for bikes when they’re in the middle of the cassette. Most bikes when in a 32/10 gear combo have 2-6° and I’d reckon that the Druid is in the 2-6° range as well in that gearing, just negative instead of positive.

12>9 Slx ftw. Match your chain ring size to your bikes suspension antisqat and the terrain you ride. Big days out I'm surprised how much a big cassette helps.

"triggered" is right, holy smokes man. Prediction: Canadian jrs continue to crush it with minimal factory support.

100%. Was about to post something along the lines of "sounds like the riders need a union". Like anybody else their bosses/companies are extracting profit based on their undervalued labour. Though it should be extended to all the support staff too.

Racers are only hurting themselves, and keeping their values lowered by keeping it in the secret. This is why the companies will even have it in the contract that they can not discuss it. This is just as much a problem in the buisness world as it is in the racing world. There is no reason to keep salaries quite, except to help the companies.
