Downhill Bikes of Sea Otter - Part 1
@KJP1230:
I ride a lot of DH and there is a whole lot of satan going on in that zone on a regular basis. Yes your chainring/bashguard hang down lower as well, but with that dangly linkage you probably quintupled the width of dangliness?
I'm sure it rides sick, but I'm skeptical of dangly bits

Exactly! My previous Commencal Supreme v4 had quite a bit of feedback through pedals (or whatever you want to call it) under heavy braking in steeps. It's not like the presence of an idler autmatically elimates all those forces. Does an idler reduce these forces? Yes, but they arent necessarily erased.
The HP Session has something like 9 degrees of pedal kick back. The older model lower pivot Session had something like 25+ degrees.

I'm running my o-chain on 6 degrees and notice a subtle improvement on my bike.

O-chain absolutetly works. If it didn't, you wouldn't see half the WCDH field using them. The benefits get a bit fuzzier on idler-equipped bikes, however I can tell you that in MY experience, the o-chain provides an improvement on the HP Session. Given that TFR is also using repping o-chain on their race bikes, it would appear that I am not just some kool-aid guzzling kook.
On the flipside, it's you who seems to be the band-waggoner here... Have you A/B'd an idler equiped DH bike with an o-chain? Or are you blindly follwing the gospel of some dude on pinkbike with some fancy words and a computer program?
