Ok...how about a discount? *sigh* I'll think about the swoopy stays and contemplate a new name for your surefooted montana mule. Reminds me more of an antelope though...rather than a mustang. (Its odd waking up 3am to a herd of horses tromping through your little campsite...They can have all the BLM land in the world and they'll choose your 20' to trot through. Antelopes always seem to give you plenty of room.) I'm interested in the fatigue life of the chain stays without a pivot...Whatever that stress point is called. Thanks for the spring falling rate/constant rate reminder. Time to get out the Mike's Mechanical or Machineries handbook...remind myself of all those fun things. (I only know enough to be dangerous.) I guess I wasn't too confused about the compression of the spring/seat stay, but more how that translated to downward pressure on the axle rather than only suspension of the rider without causing some sort of fatigue failure in the chainstays. Thanks for your reply Dave! I hate to think I was calling you out, but my hours have been odd to call Montana when I'm coherent enough to ask questions and more importantly, to understand the answers! Take care!
