Suspension Muni

About a minute :stuck_out_tongue:
I used fprime from www.worley.com for rendering.

Technically I think it still needs a few struts or something to help distribute the pressure that would be going straight into those rim hinges, definitely a few more spokes too (see latest render). I kinda think it’d work. I look at it as if the gazza is for absorbing the tree roots etc. and the suspension for absorbing drops, so the whole rotation thing wouldn’t be a prob, simply adjust the suspension to be tough enough to avoid that.

Wouldn’t be a great MUni for short ppl (like me) either because you have to have a lot of crown clearance. Maybe a different design of frame/seat post could help.

And yeah (theamazingmolio), I’m not sure if we did discuss the bit about the rigid hub but I’m starting to think 6 hinges would be better than 5 anyway. Not that 5 wouldn’t work, it’s just that I sense the cranks would be wanting to rotate by themselves when you did drops.
