With oldish Lyrik with travel increased to 170mm there is 67° head angle. The frame may not have the super popular geometry, but it still can climb and descent very agilely. I'll see how it holds up during the time, whether some misalignment or play arises, but now it made the bike completely new. As for lateral stiffness I am very happy as well, I'd say it's noticeably stiffer sideways than before. The overall feeling from riding the new linkage is quite natural, the linkage movement is very responsive and smooth. Now, I am experimenting with twice harder damping settings. Previously I used only 3 clicks of rebound damping, and 4 clicks of compr. While I had been using very small damping settings previously on the bushings, I now had to add more compression and even rebound damping and I still haven't set up my DHX5 finally. Fortunately, my uncle saved me and professionally hand reamed the pivot holes in main frame and pressed new precise sleeves in there to fit with new pivot axles.Īnother surprise came during the first ride on my favorite trails including some more technical sections. Unfortunately, damn bushings did make a damage to my frame and I wasn't able to prepare them by hand for the new pivot axles. I gave it a go, and at the end of november 2015 I received a tiny super light cartoon box from China, containing all the linkage arms, axles and washers.

I was sick of the sticky bushings, that I was not willing to service after each ride, didn't want to throw the frame out and I still hadn't had enough free time to be spent by riding so I spent it at CAD, drinking wine or beer.Īfter 2 months of CADing I was lucky to get response from a Chinese CNC milling company who were willing to make a single batch for me at a for me reasonable price. I decided last summer that I was going to design my own suspension linkage parts running on ball-bearings for my good old hook, 1st gen Banshee Rune that I have been more or less seriously riding since 2010. It seems, that even He, The Internet is going to make us forget about those ancient times.

I feel very shameful, it's not going to cover any of the new super-plus-boost world-saving mega standards as I do realize that bicycle (not even out of carbon) from pre-Boost-Plus-Air-Spring era doesn't fit in this universe anymore.

I haven't been following this threads for more than 2 years due to nice family reasons, so I stayed a bit surprised by topics that are mainly being discussed here these days and I doubted if I'm still going to post it. As well as geometry refinements to maximize the benefits of todays most popular fork options and common axle to crown heights.Hi all. Hold on, because this bike wants to go fast, get rowdy, and treat you to one hell of a good time!Īll V3.2 models have seen refinements to best utilize the most up to date production and assembly technologies. The Rune V3.2 will put a huge smile on your face. Incredibly balanced geometry and perfect weight distribution. The Rune V3.2 builds on everything the Rune has always been.
