Nerding Out: Do Kinematic Graphs Really Describe Suspension Performance?
Thanks, nice article - actually that Marin/Polygon bike is a MacPherson strut, or a tweaked version of it. So it's a bit different than 4-bars. I guess it's light damping setup is a consequence of that the thick tube holding the swingarm must have significant friction already, so less oil damping is needed. Anyway good point on the essential importance of the shock. With a mediocre shock you'll never have a suspension that's fine in all cases.

This 3D scanner is cool though.
