New Yeti - curious suspension design.

you say that but the design on alot of all mountain bike is based around the pro pedal, horrible bob without it and need to switch it on to climb, I know this is ceratainly the case, on some of the previous marins and definately the case on mine.
Half the frame designs out there are the same is also what i'm trying to get at

No they're not. They're fundamentally the same mechanics, but it's the subtle differences between them that are important.Thewaylander wrote:Half the frame designs out there are the same is also what i'm trying to get at
You are right in one respect thoguh, there's a hell of a lot of frames that DO depend on Pro-Pedal and the like, but that's because either the designer couldn't find a good solid design, or that they want to broaden the usability of the bike to the riders that don't fall into the perfect match with the bike.0 -
Indeed, My bike falls into that, bobs like a bugger with out, but coming down haven't ridden a single air rig that comes close 0

I find with my I-Drive pro-pedal makes very little difference as the I-Drive is doing the work of killing Bob.Thewaylander wrote:you say that but the design on alot of all mountain bike is based around the pro pedal, horrible bob without it and need to switch it on to climb, I know this is ceratainly the case, on some of the previous marins and definitely the case on mine.

I suspect if I go to a single pivot bike I'll suddenly start to realise how big an issue Bob is.0 -
But depends where the pivot is located!
This is the whole thing: twin links and four bars are not some holy grail that stop pedal feedback and bob. The pivot locations and axle paths are key.
What a four bar can do though is vary the pivot location (virtual) throughout the stroke. But again depends on how is done.0 -
Yeti have put out quite a few graphs that don't mean a whole lot to me, but I live less than 2 miles from a Yeti dealer so will have to drop in and see if/when they are getting a test bike in and try to get a weekend test ride "I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."

Yeah...
Anyway FSR works for me, propedal isn't too much of a stress to keep switching on and on.0 -
Whats that shock with the coffee coloured parts? Is it a new Fox Float?
Looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeet."Didn't hurt"0 -
Shall let you all know how it rides when I get mine! Yep I took the plunge and ordered one on Friday to replace my current 575 as was in the market for something a bit different and new, this fitted the bill and so i've gone for it.......0

Without even trying it? Dude you got balls!0

I phoned my local Yeti dealer - they will have a demo SB-66 once the first shipments arrive and they can build one up, probably end of July or August. So I'm going take it out for a day or 2 and see what all the hype is about "I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

it works very nicely and the newer ones have one rail compared to 2 before and the newest one(the team yellow and turquoise) has it running on the seat tubeyeehaamcgee wrote:Is that the rail system? I've never had a good close look at it.
it requires more servicing but it's not even that hard to do0
