Singlepivots dont have chaingrowth' date=' they only have stiffening of the suspension, which some might call bad because its not so actuve onder power, and some might call it good as it doesnt bob so much. (then theres also lockout for smooth roads. chaingrowth happens for one on a BLur VPP design because the bottom link rotates clockwise, IOW its like your arm when it is bent, so when it opens up the point between your shoulder and wrist becomes longer.. so what that does is it "Yanks" on your chain slightly as the force of the suspension working under your weight is much more than your legs trying to turn the peddle. However, over full travel my blurs growth is something like 18mm or something, the only time I ever experiance it it when Im climbing seated in granny ring, and I go over one of those speedbumps on a smooth road like up to the blockhouse here on tablemountain as my suspension compress down the other side, one does experiance a slight kick.. Have to say, It that is called a Drawback, then hell, I take it annyday, its hardly noticable and even when it happens, Its really nothing..like, oh, that just happened.. and carry on going Its so difficult to try and explain these things.. but the differences are really so small, someone made a very valid comment the other day.. Oh It was the Importer of Commencal at the Urban assult..He said there really are so few "bad bikes" around these days..I think its very true..[/quote'] Thanks Bos, I have learned so much today and have descent amo to take back to my mates on their Ellsworths (which is also one of the great bikes but i think the MZ has more soul).
