Giant Trance - First Ride
@railin: you're right theris always compromise, but since the chain induced force are horizontal, the braking related forces are rotational and terrain related force are mostly vertical, it's possible to design a suspension linkage that adress those force differently. Rigid horizontally and rotationnally and free vertically. and not making too much compromise.
That being said, unless you're clipped and pedal perfectly round like a roadie. There is always a vertical component independent from the chain tension where a climb switch becomes useful.

Pinkbike Poll: Are You Prepared, or Are You a Parasite?
I have 4 daugthers who do mountain bike, until recently they were always with me and where covered by my stuff. Well they grow up and I just taught them how to change a flat and made them 2 basic repair kits in a small (dare I say it) fannypack. They have to grab one for the ride to be self sufficient not having to wait for other and be stuck in the wood.
Beside they have to carry a phone so Dad can fly to rescue....
as for the parasite, I won't let anybody helpless on a trail but a KNOWN repeating offender whose only risk is a walk to the parking.... I'll do the same as Richard
