It’s kept me awake at night thinking about the LR bound up on the chain and against the bar angle and there’s 0 suspension or shock left at that point.
when you say "graph the shock mount position".... your talking lower shock mount through the movement of the BC during the indexing during hike and bar angle changes, correct ?
Yea. I built a side view model of a suspension. I put a piece of oversized paper behind it and could draw and chart the positions. It really shows you what is going on with the rear shocks. Drop your birdcage at half inch increments and see what goes on with the shock. Then start altering arm lengths and angles and watch how it affects the shock.
You can also start looking at shock speed per position. The closer the shock mount ending points are to each other, the slower the shock speed is at that position. With a little work, and a simple shock dyno, you might start getting a sense on where and how much bleed you want in the shock.
Have a question I have a 07 BWRC we’re tight getting in about half way of the corner the car wants to snap loose then tight on exit every week the RR tire you can see the cords and the RF has zero heat what would you look for first in a situation like that where do we even start
Usually tight off the gas means too little wedge. I would start with adding some wedge. If you are rolling in on the gas, the wedge may be holding you tight and the RR is just slipping and spinning adding heat and tearing the tread off. Make sure you are on the bump stop on the RF or maybe the spring is to soft up there. It’s a tough call for me not being there to give you more to go on.

Thanks for watching.
