Very much yes....the reason why I can run 255mm of travel on the Kenevo and still get reasonable steering geometry and A2C is its a 27.5. I am about to start experimenting with a 27.5 on the Zerode DH bike as it will allow 235mm travel but with a 606mm A2C and retain its original steering/frame geometry. I personally think that going to a 29 has just been a way to improve front end performance simply because there is no other way to improve the front....front fork steering and suspension tech as we see it now has reached a culmination point and going to a 29 was the only way to improve it. My dual suspension system...I think...should allow the use of a 27.5 along with the advantages that brings but nullify the disadvantages of a smaller 27.5....wait and see.

You are on the right track...separation of the two suspensions as much as possible appears to be the way forward. They both have differing travels {amplitude) and spring and damping rates and differing wheel paths so are differently sensitive and reactive to a given force vector, hence they stay in frequency with each other.

I claim this to be the first use of this term in any MTB suspension discussions :-)

@thekaiser: Pretty well spot on....well done...in terms of OTB etc....this is a good case for raising the bar height which is what I have done on the two bikes.....really good for more gravity inclined riding which is where the focus is with this system.

Yay sanity prevails for a change :-)..glad you are getting the idea.

@jsytnick: Well the ones I have do and the customers bikes I modified do....so there :-) If I could post a Pic I could prove it is so....have a look on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Suspensionsmith/

With the Link suspension moving the wheel more rearwards means wheel offset is reducing....the wheel is moving further behind where the steering axis contacts the ground.....this means trail is increasing somewhat....steering stability should improve...this isnt working like typical telefork geometry...its way more complex.

It is..moto dirtbikes to be precise.
