I appreciate the amount of information you provide. Most other KZfaqrs are just ASMR fluff.

Those front forks are super impressive James. Great work as per usual!

@PatriotPainter Жыл бұрын

For never doing any machining on the lathe before, you did a pretty dang good job!

@patrickharrison5319 Жыл бұрын

I love seeing the level of dirt, dust, and grime on the original forks, as well as the front wheel and back hub motor. That isn't sarcasm: it's good to see that the bike you made two years ago got two solid years of reliable use.

Beautiful work. I totally agree with your mechanical design choices to offset that box on wheels feel. Looking forward to seeing your next episode!

Those Girder forks really seems nice, I have seen the making of them for the first time in this video and it was a new and very nice experience. Looking forward to see this bike running.

Interesting idea and good custom design. For the forest, massive (my opinion), but in general - a good idea. The main thing is that the designer himself likes the result. We will follow! And it's nice to watch such projects.

Outstanding design and engineered with proficiency way beyond my level. Was so impressed by BMW's Telelever suspension in the early 90's that the thought of diving forks puts me off riding. I hardly ever ride anything else. Not that yours isn't a massive leap forward compared to them!! 🤗

@brianb-p6586 Жыл бұрын

There are several alternatives to conventional telescopic forks, if you are really interested. These girder forks (with the entire linkage turning on a steering post), double leading A-arm designs (in which the A-arms pivot on the fixed structure and the steering links to a hub/fork carrier like a car suspension), Telelever (which is essentially a MacPherson strut turned forward instead of sideways), and various hub-pivot designs. Telelever is the simplest and works well. The biggest challenge is the steering linkage. Girder forks and Telelever make steering easy (just mount handlebars on top), which is the biggest reason that they are good choices.

The progressive spacing of turns of the front coil does cause progressive (increasing with compression) spring rate, but does not affect damping. Progressive damping requires a progressive internal damper (shock absorber) design, or a progressive linkage.
