Re: Limiting straps photos

I don't know why we don't just put some upside down IFS bump stops under the UCA coming off the side of the shock tower (mirroring the silver dollar sized bump stop for up-travel on the LCA)... it's not like they'll get a huge shock load or carry a ton of weight...

... just a thought.

Re: Limiting straps photos

Very cool!

Not sure about the axle binding stuff, though... with the UCA all the way down smashed onto the spring the axle is not yet bound up.

Ask me how I know...

Re: Limiting straps photos

Limiting straps are not adjustable. You pick from among various available lengths and create mounting points to fix it in place. They can be used in a variety of ways to limit down travel or flex.

I think he "adjusted" by drilling holes at different locations on shock mount .
