mounting shocks

[bdkw1]

Now your not making sense agian.

lol,..the red angle at the lower right of this pic is the new angle that should equal 90 degrees when the shock is fully compressed, the actual arm that connects to the wheel is no longer factored in as far as where it is in location to the shock, al lthat matters is that as the shock is compressed, it is done in a progressive way and.

So what your trying to say is that with a cantilever set-up that the shock needs to be 90deg to the cantilever arm? AKA "loaded arm" as you put it?

So how is having your shock mounted above the center line of the arm on tabs any different than have it mounted above the center line on a Cantilever arm?

Answer, it's not. Thats why you use the pivots to figure out your motion ratio........

All I can say is that apparently member engineer wasted a lot of time explaining this.

Just don't reply to this thread for two weeks. Then come back and summarize only list Yoshi as agreeing. He will have forgotten his point of view by then and everybody will be happy.
