that's great bro, but u should build your frames in chromolly, it's lighter and tough as hell too! but if you'r thinkin bout start a bike co take a look at this: bikeschool.com they teach u how to build frames in any material, aluminum, cromo, titanium.

What makes you think chromo is lighter than aluminum, it's even heavier than steel

thats a perty good job.... me personaly I wouldn't trust it. I also dont see it having 250 mm rear travel....props on the craftmanship though

look at his album he landed an overshot jump and only the shock broke, also its made of steel so whats not to trust.

no man...not 250mm, my fose has a sock 3 times that..and its 250 mm

are you retarded!?! the size of the shock has no relevance to the rear wheel travel all it has relevance to is the rear wheel ratio! You can have a shock HALF that soze and still get 250mm rear travel, It would suck mind you, but it would work

looks like a cool design and all but personally i think you shouldve gone with alumium instead of steel...25kgs? thats over 50 pounds for us cool weld job though Big Grin

this setting is not about travel, ist only about geometry. sure, it has 250 mm travel with this (benest.cz) 240x70mm shock.

i think most of us know how suspension works....it not all about shock lenth its about the way the linkage moves through out the travel

canadabikerboy12 (Apr 19, 2007 at 13:56)

apparently some ppl still dont, look up.

seraph (Dec 19, 2007 at 16:16)

It's not about "the way the linkage moves through the travel," it's about the distance that the rear axle moves from resting to fully-compressed.

bado (May 9, 2007 at 12:36)
