[QUOTE="marcusgunby, post: 706739, member: 17066"] dave yes my reply was lacking to be honest , as usually i love to talk for hours about all suspension stuff.Sorry about that svi , i was just trying to put out some info and did it badly. Well IMO the linkage-less design has merits and shortcomings, in theory its lighter(but a CR weighs less than a KTM) and has less stiction(well if it wasnt for the 2 piston rings and big 18mm shaft it might have less)is easier to service (hmm not IMO due to the complex pds internal design)and the bottom bearing requires no maintenance(well it would if it lasted 2 seasons LOL) So what are we left with?, well it is easy to remove and replace. I believe the pds can work for woods stuff, but mx and sx is its downfall IMO.Now saying that the later ones are actually not too bad and feel IMO more like a normal bike. So back to a linkage bike-its more tunable and easier to tune IMO.Its got a harder to service linkage and its more costly to service.However it crosses over the different terrians better IMO.I think a good chassis dyno could have got the PDS working alot better than i does. Overall i will take a linkage bike just because i believe they are ultimatly better. [/QUOTE]
