Intend built a coil shock a couple years ago with an adjustable coil in collaboration with a student's graduate engineering program. Very cool concept. https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1609691/FULLTEXT01.pdf The shock was built and there are photos of it somewhere on the internet but I can't find them.

according to Harz enduro in the comments, a german guy that makes heaps of video with all the small companies in germany "we might know more wednesday" so let's see

Aston lists some of the problems in his review https://www.astonmtb.bike/reviews/nicolai-nucleon-supre-drive I disagree with him on many things regarding bicycles, but what he lists here seem like valid first generation product issues that need to be fixed for it to become a more widespread alternative to existing drivetrains.

The clear best solution is to just make water-cooled capable calipers. Water gets cycled through by a pump driven by a little baby pulley wheel on the outside edge of the rotors.

this might already be out here somewhere, but the 2025 Sight LT 170/160 is out

in a far corner of my shitbox den lurks this beauty. One day her time will come again. you know those barnfinds with old porsches and mercedes gullwings in America, I'll be the Australian version of old 90's mtb. If I had hair I'd get it permed.

I swapped out the linear can for the linear XL for the sole purpose of gaining the extra negative chamber volume, in other words making it a megneg. Setup the linear XL can so that it had about the same bottom out resistance and sag but gained some suppleness off the top as well as some support through the midstroke. Would have simply bought the progressive can but the linear XL was the next best thing once it got discontinued. Considering the price of a seal kit, its decent value and in some cases can make a fairly noticeable difference.

radness from manitou. we had one of the originals in the office at decline. i always thought it was the coolest looking bike even if it was probably poorly functioning.

If my calculations are correct...

Maybe this will help: (10 points to whoever can find the error in this graph)

Lots happening at 70% travel!

And then when it hits 70% again, it goes up. But its still at 70%. Shit, this shock is literally bottomless if this graph is correct.

You can make any shock "bottomless" if the graph just never reaches 100%! They also normalised all of the springs at sag, which isn't realistic - the linear can would probably have the least sag and the progressive one the most if you plotted what a rider would actually use.
