8/28/2025 7:24am Thanks for the reply and info. Haha, yes in an ideal world I would actually creating an actual bike part. I have some experience machining. If I had access to a lathe, some aluminum and a tough-loving, chain-smoking journeyman machinist yelling at me from the next machine over, I might be able to pull something off; although not to tolerance...

8/25/2025 9:36am Very familiar with the O-chain, I am all about that product. I actually presented a similar concept to a local bicycle manufacturer a number of years back. Owner seemed interested but nothing came of it. A few years later I brought it up with some of the engineers and they said they had looked into and the data did not...

8/22/2025 9:37am Just want to double-check with the board about what I think is correct: The closer the top of chainring is to main pivot on a SP bike the less feedback at the pedals to due less chain growth. This will also result in more squat when pedaling but allow the suspension to cycle more freely. The farther from the main...

MISCBOLTS Added a reply to Anyone prefer 51mm offset on their trail/enduro bikes?
7/30/2025 3:51pm I think it was the fact that it was actually a bit less stable; I liked the lighter/looser feel up front which is all I knew prior to short offset entering the mix. Felt like the front end it would just dance a bit more and I could easily plop the front wheel where I wanted. Also remember feeling like...
MISCBOLTS Started a new thread Anyone prefer 51mm offset on their trail/enduro bikes?
7/30/2025 10:19am Hey all. First post here. Wondering if anyone prefers longer offset forks on their non-DH bikes and, if so, why is that? A while back I was doing back to back tests with short and long offset and recall much preferring the 51mm when descending. Since I ride mainly fireroads to the top, the flop of the 51mm did not...
