item b on the diagram then?
And like I said before if the bolts are done up tight enough then they mount pins won't move.
If you believe that the standard hardware on a bike is capable of withstand an excentric shock mount roating to its "natural" position then you'd better go explain it to Richard Dawkins. I'm not saying you couldn't make this work, but in most cases, with bikes covered in all sorts of paint, oil etc. one hard landing will be enough to spin that baby around.
You have to understand some peoples grasp on their allen keys is even weaker than their engineering.
It makes me wonder how some folks manage to set up the STW favourite CCDB correctly after reading threads like this.
It makes me wonder how some folks manage to pedal and steer at the same time after reading threads like this.
It makes me wonder how I succesfully fitted my offset bushings and then checked nothing was catching, fouling or moving more than it should, resulting in a longer wheelbase, lower BB and slacker angle of dangles.
could just pump your back tyre up less, front tyre up more?
like a slackset/offset bushing.
only free 😉
I really enjoyed reading this thread 😆
Embarrassingly, it is by far the longest one I've started.
Anyway, been running offset bushings for several months now, proofs in the pudding - they definitely work for me.
But remind me, do they go in a 9.15 or 3.45 o'clock.....
