I'm doing a Hossack conversion build, and picked up Tony Foale's 'Software for the analysis of alternative front suspension'.
While I'd suggest anybody considering building a custom linkage front end (fork or forkless) get it themselves (at $50, it's a minor cost for such a project), I figured I'd toss out an offer to run numbers for people. Maybe you've got an existing girder fork and you'd like to know what the dynamics are, whatever. Its worth it to me because its kinda fun software to use, and because I'd like to build up a library of (real world) stock designs to gain knowledge from / base new designs on.
I'll post some pictures of what the software kicks out so there's an idea of what potential it offers.
EDIT - Perhaps this should be in the "Suspension" and not "Help" section?
