Pole Rinne Ylä - Review
Thankyou gabriel-mission9, this article contains many mistakes.
As far as I can understand it having the pivot in line with the point that the chain leaves the chainring would minimise the effect that pedalling forces has upon the suspension action NOT positioning it around the BB.
Also, if a suspension design has chain growth as it is compresse, and the rider is keeping his or her pedals in the same position THAT will propel the bike forwards NOT slow it down.

Empire AP1 Group test - Part 3
Great review guys, I think it was well balanced and informative.
On the subject of the Emipre failing on the road gap, was his a prototype or a production model?
To be honest though, for people to say that you are always getting peace of mind with a larger brand is incorrect. Sure they may have more money for quality control but I seem to remember a lot of older Specialized Demo's cracking due to fautly manufacturing. I have personally cracked marin's and many giant's again, both "big" manufactures.
I think that empire will need to reduce their prices to make this frame competitive though.
