Lapierre's Pendbox Explained

 He should have done the video in french. Most people have to watch it couple of times to understand the franglish that he speacks... Still think there is something that is not right with the new frame... time will tell

 SNAP goes the chain. IMO.

 either he did not explain that system correctly, or it's not a great design. When he's pushing the swingarm through it's travel there's a point where the bb link seems to almost lock, or so it appears. I can't imagine that this stress would be pretty hard on the pivot areas and the link itself. Hard to say for sure if this could be an issue, but in watching the video it seems like it could be a problem with long-term use.

 i get the point of the frame , looks a good design lol but it seem bad to have the bb about a cm further down when the travel has bottomed out all in all your drivetrain closer to the rocks than nescesary

 Yes, I always wanted my chain to pull my suspension back. And when I'm pedalling, I really, really want it to be harder for my suspension to work. Am I missing the point? Why is the chain pulling everything back into line a good thing?

 'i am remieeeeeeeeee'

 looks awesome, would love to try one out.

 If it works its amazing..... can't wait for the first test

 nice frame

 piece os shit

 I now want a Lapierre!! But Kona is always great!!
