That's neat and all that you say no collisions while you're removed the entire rear end that was colliding lol. So do you just fabricate a newer rear end that sits higher or is angled to avoid the linkage?
Thank you I only did this 12 hours ago last night and went to bed straight after. I'm yet to look at what the seat resolution and light is. As for travel. Master is 80mm - 10mm from 2 rubbers making ~70mm With flipped setup the factory shock can move the full 70mm range better than before. I'm really more interested in looking at the extreme because it was kind of relevant to this.
Where do you get this model you're using to analyse the suspension? You created it yourself? I'd love to have a look at this myself. Very interesting video!
Also, i'd note it looks like your change makes the shock a lot more linear. The odd movement in the stock configuration will make the shock more progressive - ie. harder to bottom out - at a particular pressure, while your config makes the whole travel mostly linear (except for right at the very end), so it's probably going to be hard to get a good amount of sag without also blowing through the entire shock travel on a drop or jump. You can sort of see this in how easily you bottom the shock with your 150psi test at the end. Mostly speculation, feel free to correct me if I'm reading it wrong!
@@jc84com Hard labour indeed. Been measuring up various things on my Master to print up a solid set of top armour for it and learning a CAD program along the way. It's a lot of work. Don't even know how you'd go about modelling the suspension motion etc. Took me long enough as it is to do basic measurements, let alone what you've got going :) Re: jumping, the master is competent enough for most things. I guess I'm not exactly doing huge leaps or drops on it though.. (yet, at least). I wonder what the travel looks like on the hard setting, as that's how i've set up my master currently, and it takes about 200psi to get acceptable sag (~15-20%). Takes 0.5m drops and jumps reasonably well like that. Can you graph the change in the shock travel between the 3 different geometries? (soft, hard, your setup?) Not sure if that's possible or a lot of work, but I think it'd be great info to have.
