5/21/2021 8:18pm It's a prototype 3D printed out of PLA plastic with metal rods in it for rigidity. It's a Dual link design that's quite similar to what is found on the Pivot phoenix.

5/20/2021 5:24pm It's my own 3D printed prototype frame. It's a dual link gearbox bike. It's currently got an incomplete rear triangle to make mounting the belt easier. If you remember I surveyed you guys about making a frame awhile ago and some of you wanted updates. I'll send some more photos when I start making the CNC'd version.

4/5/2021 9:50pm The Average consumer would be over whelmed by static vs sag'd geo. If you care enough just load up the bike in linkage to see how the geo changes when sag'd.

3/30/2021 1:58am Your right, pedal kick doesn't have much impact on the way a bike rides however when you get into high pivot territory the anti-squat starts to grow very quickly. You get bikes that pedal like a worm. https://youtu.be/DwlC_cGtofE Go to 6 min to see a bike with 200% anti-squat.

3/28/2021 12:13am Is it just me or do these high pivot bikes only exist because of 29inch wheels? Back when we rode those microscopic 27.5 wheels you could run a really small BB drop which lets you get away with quite a high pivot without much chain growth. But these new 29ers need at least a 25mm drop reducing the amount of...

3/17/2021 2:38am I'll be so fucking happy if there is a Dorado revamp. I've been trying to find a second hand one for ages without any luck.

why did you swap the hub for the more expensive Pinion one?

Here is the linkage file if anyone is interested: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QB26ECqbCsvnEW9-3i54jMBX74wDkLwU/view?… Primoz's tweaks made the shock move in more of a straight line. it also increased the AR a bit and put the AS in the 100 range at sag. It seems like a really nicely balanced trail bike. I'd probably buy one if mud-clearance doesn't become an issue. My...

2/24/2021 1:28am your right its not very accurate. However the general angles of the links can be seen giving a pretty good indication of the instant centre and subsequently the AS and AR. However the travel and LR is pretty much an unknown. I just assumed it was 150mm with a 210x55 shock.

made a quick and dirty Linkage model. from what I can see so far the linkage behaves a lot like a Stumpy Evo. Similarities include: - AR in the 50 to 60 range - almost no rearward axel path - firm initial AS with sudden reduction in the negatives - progressive LR similar to the enduro anyway it seems...

2/12/2021 11:17pm did any of you notice the Dropper? Considering One up has put so much effort into reducing stack at the clamp, maybe they will offer a 230mm model for the V3?

2/1/2021 1:36am It's more like the old Yetis. It's got an eccentric that changes direction.
