ARC8's Prototype Downhill Bike Uses a Sliding Shock Mount
I found the idea interesting too first. I agree with you on the fact they are in the same plane as long as the plates are not screwed on the rest of the frame. I am not sure how precise the frame mounts could be accurately welded to the frame. Even if they are perfectly placed on the jig, they may not longer be well align after welding.

Review: Berd’s Hawk 30 Wheels Use String Spokes for Impressive Compliance
@BarryWalstead:
I cannot recall exactly what Ali C. used for the front wheel of his street/trials, but overtime he had problems with the ropes really being frayed.
He had also to adjust the tension many times.

Always enjoy the Shimano videos.
This one was really refreshing and funny!
"I cased every jump, literally every jump"
Everyone started like this!
"But you can't go around, so you have to!"
Really like her mindset!
Wish you the best for your future Zoe!

Agree. Lock-ons have some drawbacks: the are heavier than slide-on grips, they can develop play and offer less comfort on the ends. I use currently some piano strings in combination with slide on grips (inspired from motocross) on my street/trial - a discipline with repeated shocks and fast wear of grips - and it seems to work well.
A friend of mine meant that slide on grip do not work that well with bars which surface is structured. Glossy flat surface seem to give better results. Unfortunately, most bars have a structured surface where the grips are located.
Most BMXer do not use lock-on grips.
