Yet another wrinkle on the rear suspension landscape

Hot off the press: Another new design from the fertile mind of Dave Weagle. And we all ask ourselves "Why didn't we think of that?"

No idea what it might mean as opposed to Horst Link or faux-bar, but it'll be an interesting one to watch.

Looks the same as others I've seen, so it pivots at the rear wheel axle?

Correct; so it would pretty much require a through-axle.

Through-axle is becoming the standard anyway i reckon, or will be eventually. I think its a great idea!

No it doesn't. The pivot locations mean everything to suspension. The pivot being on the wheel axle makes it a whole new thought process.

Brilliant idea, I am curious to see how long the system will last.
