What are everyone thoughts on running a spring ,bump stop or some thing else in the limit chain vs. nothing?
Got to look over a brand new 2017 Rocket last week. It had the chain with 2 bump rubbers.
fwiw....no one will be able to copy that Keyser built upper control arm mount!
Saw a couple top tier teams not running one during speedweeks.
I thought gas/hydraulic would be best and I thought they were illegal also.Would a Cot style bump stop have less oscillations than a spring?The last club 29 I looked at was using the underslug with what looked like an adjustable rubber bumper.
From my understanding the unified rules only specify a verticals drop limiter above the axle to hold drop. And it has to be a single chain, beyond that the rules do not say anything specific about construction of the droop limiting chain.
Not saying my interpretation is 100% correct.
If it says one droop limiting chain then that would mean a CHAIN only to me, no other contraptions in between....
If more was legal it would say droop limiting chain and device or chain and $$$
Gas is a fluid. If you have a piston and a fluid, you have a shock. You are not allowed a shock on the limiter.
Or were they underslung chassis'?
Why do you need one, if you can get the LR to Travel 15 plus inches? The RF maxed out is gonna stop it before the chain ever will. I think that's the theory on no chain.
Broke a chain mount one night and it over indexed the bars and tore a bunch of stuff up. RF pinned down definitely didn't stop it from climbing the bars.
i have not used a chain since we got on the under slung frames now , but i made a bump stop type thing to go on the under slung frame that can be adjusted to control hike like a chain, is that legal?
