Kind regards

Hi John,

Thanks for that image, much clearer than the photo of the chassis on your website. Your rocker pivot points are lower than where I was hopnig to have mine, but it's a very interesting setup.

Is the node for the lower damper mounts behind the steering rack mount, or have you integrated the shock mount with the steering rack mount by fitting a horizontal tube at the peak?

That does seem like the best way in terms of packaging, but if your rocker pivot points are in the same cross-plane as a conventional shock top mount, presumably your rockers are pivoting on an angle?
How much of an angle is this, is it about 8-10 degrees?

My initial hesitation of using this kind of setup was that gettnig the pivots to a precise angle to avoid bending/binding would be a nightmare.


Thanks again for the help.

Pavel
