need some serious information

dev, i have seen that video before. it is freakin badass! that is an easy setup from what i can see. and is basically how i want mine only i have to figure out how to do it with the independent rear. the axle gets hard mounted to the frame, which is another big plus because the pinion angle will ever change. now i just need to figure out the rest. haha.

When I researched this for my mini I found this out which is a def. important piece of info!

For the "fixed" pivot (typically the center pivot) I would suggest running Delrin. Delrin is a material that is a lot loike nylon, but tougher. You can call HM-Engineering.com and order the bushings, the inner and outer sleevs, heims, spacers bungs from them.

yeah i know all about max. i sent him an im because of all the hate on the site. but thanks man. him and aaron or some serious suspension gods!

sweet man, thanks. i am putting that site in my favorites box right next to yours. haha.

I can't wait to see this project in the works...



Dev

man, i thought about it all day. i think what may end up happening is i will take it to texmex and then right back into the garage to get started on it. i want to do this so bad!

Yeah I forgot about Iha. He is pretty damn sick as well. Def keep us posted on this setup.

here is what max from bio kustoms let me know...



Think about the bell-crank/cantilever in 2 seperate pieces. One that the bag is attached to and one that the rearend is attached to. You first have to figure out where the bell-crank is going to attach to the rearend and what the ratio is of that point to the wheel travel. then you can calculate how much leverage the bell-crank will generate in order to have the final wheel travel to bag travel ratio to be close to 2:1 (the wheel should move 2" while bag only moves 1".)

To keep things simple, try to set up the bell-crank so that at half travel the bell-crank arm related to the bag is perpendicular to the bag and same with the suspension side.

The pivot point of the bell-crand should not be allowed to flex, so you should use nylon or even bearings in that pivot.

I don't know how else to make any decent sense out of this in a shot description, so I hope this helps.
