@hIDesert: Hmmm it was there when we posted it. Maybe it broke a rule or something. No harm done, thanks for pointing out the error and for coming back to post the link!

Man Malik is flying! That bike is so quiet 👀

But not managed the chain in anyway leading to plenty of feedback regardless of it's decoupled rotation.

@steviejks: it's on the list of investigative projects for the future. For now, we feel that for most riders the relatively low 8.6 degrees is easy to adapt to in regular trail, fire road climbing and enduro and DH racing situation.

@traildamo: how can one appreciate the brake symphony with a noisy back end...

@Balgaroth: we are with you on the pedal kick back in real world scenarios. But chains have mass and they flail around, that's not necessary to prove.

Start with a calculation that describes the energy present in the system. Design a device that can fit a range of springs that are stiff enough to capture this energy momentarily given the travel amount you designed. Test it whilst reducing the travel until you hit a minimum travel maximum control limit in that form factor. 8.6 was the result with this form factor and spring rate. Everything is a balance with design. We initially had a 12 degree rotation but it was horribly sloppy and caused climbing issues. We reduced it down whilst maintaining the capability of the device by simultaneously upping the spring rate until we were maxed out. We tested down to 4 degrees but felt the harshness come back into the system up until 8.6 degrees.

@finnspin: the last part of your comment zeros in on what the Chain Damper is intended to help with.
