Big if true

If you're not from the US and you haven't seen this yet, I can't recommend it enough. It explains a lot:

So it took me way to long to stitch these together and export it properly, but I did this test with the tyre at 18psi and 26psi, the 18psi gave the best result. Using parts on hand like some springs around 11.8 N/mm, a 250g mass and a 600g(250+350) mass. (*edit using the 2 opposing springs halves the rate so more like 6 N/mm) The wheel alone is about 1800g so total system about 2.4kg Tyre rates are roughly 35N/mm @ 18psi and 44N/mm at 26psi BUT they are slightly progressive in the first few mm plus I trimmed the...

seems applicable (sort of). why not just put ebike batteries in one to isolate the weight : )

This diagram (taken from Analysis techniques for racecar data acquisition by Jorge Segers) shows the level of vibration passed through when comparing 2 parts of the system (it is simplified for theoretical purposes). 1 on the y-axis means the size/displacement of the vibration output is equal to the input (ie rolling slowly over a large bump, the vehicle rises the same amount as the wheel). A value greater than one happens around the natural frequency where the input gets amplified (movement at the chassis is larger than the bump). Red line = body of the vehicle bouncing on the suspension...

Yeah thats a long term project I am slowly collecting data on....there is a huge difference between casing and compounds. Measuring the force vs displacement curves tells you the change in spring rate and damping from different rubber, and changing spring rate will have a proportional change to frequency Blue line is a Conti Kryptotal DH tyre (note:29") at 23 and 25psi Red line Maxxis DH maxx grip 2.4 x 27.5"@ 23psi Yellow line Maxxis EXO Maxx Terra 2.4x27.5" @ 26psi The gap between the lines is an indication of damping, the EXO has a softer rate and less damping...

This is one thing I’ve been wondering about. To get say 1lb to have a natural frequency in the realm of braking bumps you need stupidly stiff springs. So stiff they are a little hard to find with meaningful amounts of deflection.

So, just looking at the rear, this would be more used for counteracting large movements, right? Like when your rear hits a large square edge rock and it gets kicked up? Or do you think its more for small stuff like braking bump chatter? I couldn't imagine it working for small stuff? IDK. Also do you think the one on the fox 40 has its own hsc and lsc clickers ;p

No, your comment has been said a million times before and you were clearly just trying to stir.
