Looking good tom, Like you say, get some hi-lows on the rear and it'll be spot on. |

I'm pretty sure its nothing classified, in fact as far as I'm aware its something along the lines of a hydrogas shock, like used on rover metros, however on these cars the potential of the technology wasn't really appreciated, but it sounds like Mr Millyard has got it spot on. (correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't looked into it massively, this is just what I've picked up from what I've red) |

The only criticism I can posibly think of is that surely it would have been more efficient to place the pivot around the gear box rather than the BB, to reduce the unsprung weight and raise the pivot point to help with square edge hits. But I'm sure theres a pretty good internal reason that I cant see stopping that idea working properly, or you guys probably would have done it already. Absolutly awesome bike, Love the shock and just everything about it really. |

If I remember right the shock is sprung using a hydrogas (or similar) system, like found in rover metros (just better, haha) So the resiviour actualy contains the spring. |

Yep, got them second hand off here. There lush. |

i would give my left nut for that bike!!! shame i cant afford 2 ride downhill anymore  |
|
Meh, I'm not all that bothered whats written down the sid of my mongoose, it rides amazingly well, the weld qualitys not the best, but meh, what do you expect for the money, and there warrentys good, so just keep sending them back till you get a good one. haha. Get those bars and maybe stem changed, it'll make such a difference to the ride. (Y) |

Actually most cameras with a multi-shot function would have a shutter priority mode that could easily be used to get a clear shot. I just bought a camera for £218 which could get a shot easily as clear as that. Anyway, yeah, probably would have been a bit smoother to jump the rough. |
