Was in the factory where they make them the other day. Odd linkage system, but solid construction.

Cheers Brant, interesting they have an old linkage system, does it still work as a system or is it old tech and not worth considering? I thought it was related to a Horst Linkage?

They seem like a bargin, the kit alone would cost a packet even if it was stripped down and sold.

Anyone know what they are like to ride??

I said "odd" (as in a bit strange) not "old" (as in past it).

The wierd thing is that the sort of rocker/link pivot uses BB bearings to pivot on, but the main pivot doesn't.

[i]are you saying its good to use BB bearings[/i]

I think he's saying it's odd that the main pivot (where a lot of the load is) uses smaller bearings than the rocker pivot.
