Capricorn Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Seems they playing with incremental changes/improvements. I'm totally ok with that, instead of reinventing the wheel, and then up-sizing the price in the process. Not VFM at alll.. Danny hiding the ends of the shocks for us:http://dirt.mpora.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/12b270134.jpg and i'm wondering if the next pic is a hint at what he is hiding (eyelet bearings), albeit the bearing below has a different location: http://dirt.mpora.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/12b270173.jpg I'm in agreement with comments on Dirtmag, this looks like a fork spring bearing, but i guess we'll see. FUnny thought: needle bearings for Needles.. Sauce Edited February 28, 2012 by Capricorn
Johan Bornman Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Those are thrust bearings. Probably for between the frame and shock eye?
Capricorn Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Meh Marzo FTW. that's what i would like up front if i take that Commencal Meta AM at Action Cycling. I see Myles is building himself up a sick machine. but my word, that thing is gorgeous in the flesh. photos hardly do it justice.
(Deon) Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) it's a new Morewood right? that's what i would like up front if i take that Commencal Meta AM at Action Cycling.

Capricorn Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 it's a new Morewood right? good grief no man.. such sacrilege. I'd never give a whiff of a hint of praise to anything driftwood. jeepers man.
Capricorn Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Those are thrust bearings. Probably for between the frame and shock eye? first guesses included that JB. but quite a few are convinced they are fork spring bearings. If RS revealed Keronite as the next big thing, then fork spring bearings are definitely an option
Capricorn Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 NOOO, that's INTENSE! one step down. you can do it.
(Deon) Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Fox tried increasing the sensitivity of their hardware by shaving bushing material to give added sensitivity (as seen on 2011 RP23) - Didn't work.. If the RS needled bearings serve similar function, it would make more sense..
(Deon) Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 you are CRUZing for a bruising if you don't tell me!!
Capricorn Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 you are CRUZing for a bruising if you don't tell me!! jeepers man, i said one step down, not one step up from 'the m-word we shall not speak of"..

If the RS needled bearings serve similar function, it would make more sense.. problem is, unless they are of the expensive variety, needle bearing pads tend to fail quicker than expected . That said, they do work very well as bearings for the shock spring. K9 sells em, whilst other Ti-spring makers offered a delrin based flat bushing if i can call it that. both work, but the needle bearing worked best. Edited February 28, 2012 by Capricorn
