Suspension
Hey guys, So I was wondering if any of you use suspension or just dont bother, My local course (Not really proffesionally run) has an offroad section and a large selection of bumps.
So I was wondering if any of you lot bother with suspension and if so could you give me a few tips.
Independant Suspension
I have built one with independant suspension and unless you're going to drive like Stacey Kohut, I'd settle for a little elasticity in the axle or a pivoting axle so it behaves more like a 3 wheeler.
Suspension is complicated to make, shocks are expensive and do nothing for aerodynamics unless you hide them inside bodywork.
soapbox suspension - tricky to get right but not expensive
It needn't be expensive. Midi moto shock absorber units can be acquired in ebay for around £10 each and work perfectly well, although you'll probably want to wind the preload up as high as you can go.
