Lordy, I’m all for a new take on suspension, but I wouldn’t be riding this without a Michelin-man style inflatable bodysuit for protection…

Riding what?

Is it the telegraph pole party bike thing from the other thread?

Oh FHS

This thing

Louise?

Dark glasses and a sick bag the only requirements.

Is it the telegraph pole party bike thing from the other thread?

Nope. More stupid looking.

Why? Knowing who built it (not the man in the pic) and how seriously he takes testing, the safety of it would be the absolute least of my worries.

Cannondale’s Left appeared late ’90s iirc – I cant remember ever hearing of an issue relating to breaking them. Other the the weirdness when you look down, I don’t see an issue

Reminds me of the USE SUB fork from about 20 years ago.

I’d like to try it…

I don’t think I’d spend money on it but I’d love to ride it and find out for sure :o)

A man’s gotta know his limitations. 🙂

That said, I’d love to have a go on it. What’s the worst that could happen?

I’ve heard of long and low…

But that is slack as ****.

Not sure it’d be that good.

Looks well thought out.

Regardless of what you think of the pic, the article is worth a read just to get in the head of a ‘have-a-go / shed’ engineer. Like.

I’d not ride that either.
Orange pedals. What was he thinking.😄

Design wise I can’t see a problem with it.
Looks like a take on Sidecar MX forks.

I have also owned a USE fork in the past.
Interesting design that was let down by a damping cart that wasn’t the best…

Expected more Dirty Harry quotes, disappointing, personally I prefer my forks suspension above the axle.
