What springs? Looks to me like he welded on a bar where the shocks used to be.

Indeed it is, I'm pretty sure the springs are cut

swingers that are solidly mounted come loose and cause all kinds of problems. true hardtails have some amount of flex built into them, keeps shit from shearing and part malfunction blah blah.


now cut out that swinger and do it the RIGHT WAY!

shaft drive. That swingarm's going nowhere without a lot of fabrication.

Yes, Cut the springs so the shocks would ride on the bump stops.

Actually working on getting rid of the swinger, and extending the rear.. Working on a donor frame first.. Don't wanna bugger this one up, and be Effed..

A true Shafty hard tail is on the horizion I think!
