Me and my mates back were taking racing bike frames and adding moped forks and wheels back in the seventies......Honda C90 leading link front forks actually rise ( rather than diving ) when braking & that idea needs bringing into MTBing.
Is this a feature of all leading link forks?
Good idea? Bad idea? Why? If good, why hasn't someone already tried it (or have they?).
U.S.E. Sub fork

Quite a few people tried it in the early days but they tended to have shoddy bearings & linkages so people kind of stuck with telescopic
It wasn't for the lack of good looks then

Best minimalist suspension forks Evaaaa 🙂
fasthaggis - they still exhibit diving under braking.
All of those ^ will still dive under forward weight transfer (braking) except the U.S.E SUB, which if you've ever ridden one is a properly weird feeling when you're all set to compensate for it and then it doesn't 😯
Even weirder when you go back onto normal fork after a long stretch on one end up nearly licking your front tyre first time you brake!
I think Bencooper still runs one?
