quotes At least your project involves solidworks! I more just mess around on it designing stuff like this just to keep my skills fresh. Most of my project involves CFD which is a total nightmare to use.

quotes Cheers buddy; I wanted to keep it nice and linear so shocks can be easily and effectively tuned to the frame; especially air shocks. And in response to the other comment yeah I personally think keeping a nice leverage curve generates a better performing bike than a ridiculously rearward axle path but I guess like all design work frame design is just balancing the trade-offs more than anything else! I think this one worked out quite nicely however.

quotes Haha something like that. On this the shock connects to the bottom link, on the new meta there is no bottom link it connects to the rear triangle.

quotes Cheers man, it is by no means complete it was done in a couple of hours but the geo is all sorted. I will upload the graphs when I can be bothered but its very linear and progressive
