Factory connection3/17/2024 ![]() ![]() This allows different valving, which in-turn, allows for better traction earlier in the stroke. You can see that our linkage is pretty much identical to the FC linkage up to 72% shock compression or so, but then shoots up for added bottoming resistance. You'll likely need to compensate for the lack of bottoming resistance with valving or a stiffer bump rubber. Our linkage is a good amount more progressive than stock, so pretty much the opposite. ![]() So Factory Connection and the unnamed linkages are pretty similar, and they're both less progressive than stock, which I think is an odd choice. Here are the wheel rate curves for stock, our latest knuckle, the Factory Connection set from your dimensions, and another competitor who I shouldn't name as they sent us their models to quote manufacturing, but never went forward with us (or even bother to respond to my emails ):Īnd here's the wheel force curve using the same spring for all knuckles, except for a spring two rates up on our knuckle (as recommended): ![]() The FC linkage should drop the rear end slightly, about 2mm, so not much really. These results won't be perfect without spot on measurements, but they'll be very close. Stock measurements per your diagram are 30/79.5/54.5 with a pullrod of 148.2, so your measurements are pretty close, within 0.5 mm on all of them. ![]()
