Cg_S Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 just received my beam to complete my 2nd ALL-SOP Raab and DR ◣◢ 2
MrJacques Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Interesting. How much flex does it have? Does it feel weird when pedaling on rough bouncy terrain?
Guest Latent Blue Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 What is that?... give us some info please
Paul Ruinaard Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 instead of a dropper post you have raised the post? How often you go over the bars?Why in creation would you want to do this - I am perplexed?give us more
Cg_S Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 awesome ride, feels like you on a water-bed, must experience it yourself
deanbean Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 An early suspension plan. Not very safe. I'd hate to experience the bar breaking. Called a Softride.
Guest Latent Blue Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 The Softride Suspension System was launched at the Interbike 1989 bike show. The original SRS systems consisted of two foam filled fiberglass boxes bonded together with a viscoelastic layer. Originally intended for the use in mountain bikes, Softride produced its first full-fledged mountain bike, the PowerCurve, in 1991. During 1996 Softride released its first aluminum frame road bike, the Classic TT. The Softride Suspension System is used almost exclusively for triathlon racing. Softride ceased bicycle production in 2007 after the design was banned from racing.[21] A very closely related suspension design to the Softride is the Zipp 2001, a contemporary competing beam bicycle, where the suspension was in the hinge, rather than in flex of the beam itself. Sofride Zipp 2001 Seems like im staying away
Guest Latent Blue Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Some reviews::: http://www.mtbr.com/cat/bikes/bike-full/softride/2000-powercurve-xc/prd_354221_95crx.aspx Just got to laugh at the forst one Strengths: No good , my family still has a 1927 bike built in japan , still rides . Yet a got me a fancy Softride Power Curve and almost lost my life when the frame broke in the middle od the street . I took it back to shop where i got it , owner said my bike no warranty , offered me another one for a discounted price of 1200.00 Dollars ( he craize ) , i go to walmart next time Weaknesses: No good Bottom Line: No good
