Just stumbled upon this

Weirdy shock thing

not in real life, but I remember them in the mags…

i’m sure this was done i the early days…didn’t manitou or someone have a bolt on system?

I dont get it. how is it meant to do anything without taking apart the rear triangle? looks awful too IMO

A similar adaptor existed for forks…

from looking at it, it sorta allows a new set of rear wheel dropouts to move up and down, 3.5 inches of travel – epic

thats awesome.

wow, yeah, what cynic-al said…

they were so cool in about 1995. its a parallelogram that bolts onto the dropouts, seatstays and brake bosses to give probably less effective travel than a modern 2.35 tyre.

bikes then really were carp.

tempted to get one and attach it to my full suss, more travels more awesome right? 🙂

can you knock on up in carbon for me al 😉

find me a career and I will!

You’ll need canti/v-brake mounts to bolt it to, which will rule out many modern frames.

Gutted, my hard tail is a GT!

I just want to see it up close and play with it.

Wonder if the missus would like it….
