just got home after the nightshift, thought i't have a quick look on here
don't get me wrong, i liked the ride, was fun! and i was just being silly hanging the bike in the tree!!
basically there is a build up of flex across the whole bike, the rear suspension is fine, quite active, doesn't bob alot so that's ok. the problem with the fork, well, there are a couple of things, 1st, they are too short a-c, so this gives a slightly too steep head angle, didn't notice initially, they don't have alot of travel, but i don't mind that, but they do flex and twist alot. Add to that the radially spoked spinergy with PBO spokes and you get a front end that suffers from ground steer. also this means there is some brake rub from flex which is more noticeable when muddy. also the bottom bracket area does flex abit aswell, and on top of all this i have a carbon bar and post which have the normal carbon flex!
thing is though because of the flex it was really nice to ride untill i was hitting stuff hard when turning causing the dodgy steering.
i do have some vectors on the way, hoping to fit them on tuesday, i think they will massively improve the front end, steering, travel, head angle and reduce flex. should be cool!
