it pivots around the BB shell.

there is a big shell on the downtube that has nylon bushes in it, and the BB shell pushes into that, then the swingarm rings clamp to the BB shell.

so you can install the cranks into the BB when they're not on the bike, then push the shell into the frame Smile

lol yeah thats it man!

i remember lookin at the jackal when it first came out a few years ago thinkin 'damn that looks sexy an curvy'. it an a few other curvy frames has really influenced me in the last few years. its like its got flow from one end to the other, i like that.

if thats a BB concentric pivot, won't it have only as much travel as the shock stroke?
