Die Variabilität durch das Achsadaptersystem finde ich gut. Der Verzicht auf nen Schnellspanner nervt mich nicht wirklich. Durch meine gute alte 36er RC2 bin ich es eh noch gewöhnt.

Zitat vitalmtb: "Brent said that it's difficult to introduce the market to something new given how many designs are already out there, but this is something he's been dreaming up for a while that really stands apart from the rest. Now that the prototype is built he'll begin the testing process soon and start playing with various settings on the second shock."
Es ist ja auch ein Prototyp - also im "experimentellen Stadium". Das Video dient wohl der Demonstration der Idee an sich!? Ich persönlich bin gespannt wie sich das entwickelt.

Hier ist die Aufklärung: Erweiteter Negativfederweg.
Coole Idee!!
Zitat: "Speaking with Brent Foes, he told us that the goal of the system is to increase negative travel, helping to keep the rear wheel on the ground more often. This will, in theory, provide more traction and better braking. Much like the trophy trucks with ample negative travel that Brent has spent plenty of time working on, the rear wheel should be able to follow the contours of the ground much better with this design.
Brent achieved this by incorporating two shocks into the linkage - a traditional Cane Creek DBair and a custom made 1-inch stroke shock that is only active when the Cane Creek is fully extended. The bike has 8 or 9-inches of travel via the DBair and the single pivot linkage PLUS and additional 3-inches of bonus travel that comes via the second shock. The second shock is actuated by a few small links connected to the swing arm. Accessing the full 12-inches of travel is only possible when the bike is unweighted and the rear wheel can drop down."
Gefällt mir auch sehr gut. Leider - wie ja zu erwarten war - arg teuer. Wenn SC nur etwas an der Preisschraube drehen würde ... aber soll halt kein "Jedermannsbike" werden.
