That’s what it was designed for, but it’s competent to be very good fun on all but the steepest rocky descents, even if it’s not as quick as a bigger bike would be. Does that make more sense?
I’ve just taken my shock off to measure the bushes. Took longer than expected because all these little jobs begin with tidying the entire workshop and then I remembered I was supposed to swap the grips over so I did that, then I remembered that the bottom shock mount is behind the cranks so they had to come off too.
What I discovered is the lower shock mount is directly onto the lower swing arm pivot axle, no bushes, no top-hats, just straight on. So I can’t put an off-set on the bottom.
Is that the same on everyone else’s Anthems, or is it just a quirk of the carbon frames?
