Also, it's entirely unclear where you would put the bottom pivot for the suspension. Apart from the location near the crank, there's no obvious position where this would be possible. You are looking at a fairly serious frame redesign.
true, i considered this so,
I am not looking for a huge amount of travel, 2 inches (4 cm) would be fine!......guys, i am already on my third back wheel and fourth tire as a result of pinch flats from the surprise pot holes here in Paris!
i know that loading would effect the how much actual usage but, i usually have the same constant load, a guitar amplifier! rarely, to i have someone riding on the rack bedsides, i could get an adjustable preload shock, no?
however, its the pivot spot that i am not sure about!
oh, i could post a pic of my bike but, dont have a website to link to.......
