Thanks, Im going to play with a bunch of different ideas, though this one looks like it would work the chain tension wheel isnt placed correctly, the angles of it will cause some bad squat under pedaling, redalps design uses some smart angles to get rid of probably all pedal bob, so im going to redesign until I can get the same effect, ill try the option you suggested and see what happens.
o_O dude I saw you posted this on my comment and it looks fair f*cking awesome I think you should show it to a bike company and see what they say, it looks simple and strong and really cool
I designed this to show that even with the same characteristics of that ugly frame it can still look alot better...This is purely to show that form and function can Co-exist.
Another option would be to mount the shock closer to the BB (lower cg and better mass centralization) and have a linkage work by pressing down on it.
But killer stuff mang!!!
