Just stumbled upon this

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....
