So I keep seeing pictures of single pivot bikes (or single pivot with yoke) and coil shocks and wondering how riders "get away with it"?
ie: a Pipedream Full Moxie:
Don't single pivot bikes generally have F-all progression in the suspension? What's providing the ramp up here? Is it just something lighter riders can get away with on mellower terrain?
I'm roughly about 95kg kitted up, and all I could see happening are:
A) Running a spring so firm the thing is basically a hardtail with a safety blow-off, or;
B) Riding with a reasonable amount of sag and just pummelling the bump stop in the shock through rocks and over drops.
Am I missing something? I love the looks of these type of bikes, would love to never use a shock pump again and love that coil traction feel, but I just don't get it.
This is the leverage ratio graph for the Full Moxie:
