yep gonna have to see it but my point is the link location on the triangle swinger does most of its movement in a mostly horizontal plane compared to vertical movement as the wheel travels hence a link running up will not work it is outside its mechanical advantage sweet spot way out
multiplying things in the rocker wont fix that issue
it may work on paper but not in practice
I will for sure replace the front brace but I don't want to angle it all the way forward to the swingarm pivot, that seems weak to me too. What about running 2 braces on each side from the front corners of the upper brace down to the legs of the swingarm? Does that make sense? They would be more vertical that way as opposed to running the front 1x2 at a severe forward angle, or would the forward angle be ok?
Forward to the front tube is ok, because the forces on the brace are then put in tension and compression. Basically it will create a triangle, and you'll be pushing on the point of the triangle. The points of triangles are strong, that's why there's the term "triangulation".
You could save some time by having a new rocker designed and cutting aluminum in stead of redoing that amount of welding and grinding
You will need to make the hole that connects to the rod on the rocker, way lower, and maybe a tad front so you use the most of the upward movement of the rod to push the rocker and thus compress the shock what's needed
Hope I explained myself correctly, if not, I'll find a way
I do understand what you're saying. It actually functions surprisingly well as is, I just want a more direct angle so the movement is more direct and efficient. I'm not happy with the brace looks wise and it's only tacked in place. I think I was going to have chain clearance problems anyway so it was more than likely going to have to be replaced. Also have plans to redesign the bellcrank pretty much how you describe. The one I have on there now was for mock up and working out some theories and ideas that didn't end up working in the end. That's why we mock things up though right? And where would we be if we didn't push the envelope a little bit?
your link is connected already past center it may function on paper but it wont work for several reasons the way it is
i thought you said you were reading books ? on this stuff
not trying to be overly harsh but you really have it way wrong there
Now that is awesome!! Thank you Tijmen, I did realize it would pull down once past a certain point. Originally I was just going to change the brace but I also need a diffierent bellcrank too. A redesigned bellcrank and brace will take care of it. Not really very much work at all in the grand scheme of things. Thanks again!
