You would just need a jig that squared the head tube to the seat tube when pressing the keyed collar in. Not impossible or out of the question by any means

nice disclaimer, I couldn't tell if this was supposed to be a joke or not at first

Go get a quote from a machinist that is capable of making a one off shock and you'd find that $5k would be a bargain. Then have your design work well enough to win a WC. Some of you kids are so ignorant to the world I find myself depressed every time I come on this site. There should be an IQ test before you are allowed to post. It would cut down on my time trying to filter through your crap trying to read the few intelligent posts that find their way on here.

I wanted to ask a similar question as I now have a 20 month old and another on the way. To add to your question, how do you balance your home life and maintain the same motivation and drive? Where do you see yourself/what would you like to be doing in 5+ years from now? Cheers!

your, you're, there, their, they're.... learn the difference.

So much talk about performance attributes and specs, but there is a key point being missed in all of this. Is a a 29" wheel going to work for a person 5'4"? Likewise, how does a 26" wheel feel for a 6'4" person? Their frame size isn't the same so why should the wheel size be? The 27.5" works best for the average person which is probably the demographic target average that will be most profitable for a company to focus on as 3 sizes of wheels being offered over 3 or 4 frame sizes over how many models would not be applauded by share holders. The 29ers were first utilized primarily by larger than 6' males which is who benefits the most because a 29" wheel scales a L or XL size frame better.
