Damn, dudes!

I thought you were gonna let this crap die weeks ago...

The amount of droop to REACH that point is the only difference, all else being equal.

I guess you missed this:



This graph show that the neutral point on a regular shackle corresponds to a "neutral range" on the revolver.

TJ claims that the revolvers give great grip.

Since grip is determined by the friction:

u * N = F(f)

N is caused by weight pushing the wheel down (the ground opposes equally to wheel weight). The downward force of the wheel can cause grip, but is the same force that causes unloading on steep hills and off-camber.

TJ claims that the revolvers have great grip and don't unload. That's not possible. Either they have great grip and do unload, or they don't have great grip and a lesser tendency to unload.

Let this crap die already...... [Too much XOC]

[LOL]
Why do we need units? The units on this graph are dependent on the k-factor of the spring. The k-factor of the spring WON'T affect the unloading of the revolvers. That will happen regardless.
