 | Bicycle physics. Path Analysis All the suspension systems, their features, their virtues and defects. The theory and practice of the Mountain Bike suspension. The physics concepts under detail. The ultimate tool to discover the best purchase option based on your riding style. |
ŋWhat is Path Analysis?
Itīs a research work about the performance of th majority of the full suspension systems in the market. The work han an scientific-practic focusing that by means of numerous examples and ilustrations, makes clear how the physic theory os applied to the real designs.
The report is oriented to show wich are the main characteristics of each suspension system, making the election of the bike easier, based on your own riding style.
The conclusions of the report are surprising and demostrates haw there is less difference between the designs in the market and how the election must to be done based on the riding style, the general performance of each system and specially the test of the bike.
Linkage 2, suspension simulator
Linkage2 is a powerfull suspension simulation software wich shows the movement of the suspension in a windows environment
You can watch the movement of each pivot and things so important as the forces aplied to the rear shock in order to estimate the progressive response of the suspension or the variations in the chain lenght what gives an idea of the interference betwen pedaling and suspension.
Linkage has all you need to evaluate a suspension system. Among itīs features we highlight:
Linkage comes with a library of more than 50 commercial models. You can create your own models from photos of the bike for 7 different suspension systems:
Get inside the amazing world of this suspension tech work divided in five chapters and some annexes.
