2014 Felt Compulsion

Too many bikes in my garage so need to sell my Felt Compulsion. I built this bike up from the frame in 2014. Rode it until i injured my arm (not bike related accident). The bike has been sitting in my garage since September 29th, 2019. I will have my LBS check the bike over before shipping it. I plan to have the bike shop package it as well for shipping. Buyer pays for the shipping costs but I will look at bike flights etc. for the lowest available cost.

The Felt frame is a 2012 that I bought in 2014 and built up. parts are notated below. I purchased a OEM 2013 Kashima Fox Float CTD fork and a 2014 Kashima Fox Float CTD rear shock. This bike has been my secondary ride as I also have a hardtail that I ride weekly. The Felt was used when going on longer epic rides. I am an older rider so my days of jumping are mostly over. This bike has been ridden but not abused. There are no dents or cracks in the frame, wheels or any other parts. It has a modern geometry and has had no issues.

Frame Design
Constructed from hydroformed 6061 aluminum, the frame has a utilitarian aesthetic to it, with relatively straight lines angling towards the back of the bike from the tapered head tube. ISCG mounts and a 12x142 rear axle are fitting for the bike's all-mountain designation, as are the top tube cable guides for dropper post routing. Sealed cartridge bearings are used for the suspension pivots, excluding the aluminum Equilink, which uses DU bushings.


Equilink Suspension
Felt's proprietary suspension design relies on a dogbone shaped aluminum bar that connect the upper and lower links. This aluminum bar takes the pedaling forces that would usually drive the lower link forward and makes them pull down on the upper link instead, thus minimizing the influence pedalling has on the rear shock. A pivot is located above the chainstay to accommodate the growth between the seatstay yoke and chainstay yoke that occurs as the bike goes through its travel. One of the advantages to Felt's Equilink suspension design is that there is no ideal setting for sag – running it a little softer or firmer will not affect how the suspension works. I typically ran around 30 percent sag, finding that this offered the best balance between uphill and downhill performance. The bike's travel can also be adjusted to be either 150 or 160mm by switching the mounting position of the rear shock on the upper link.
