There has been some debate about how accurate one can be using BikeChecke/LinkageV3 without actually having the bike in front of you.
A popular blog I known for doing anti-squat and leverage ration calculations based off geometry numbers and pictures that I assume allow the user to measure distances relative to known lengths.
Since very few people actually analyze suspension traits outside of the bikes they are building or working on in the industry, this blog is one of the few places where you can compare and contrast different suspension designs.
It's not perfect, and I don't think the author really touts it as such.Just because something doesn't have good anti-squat on a graph doesn't mean it won't ride awesome. But in most cases it helps understand why a bike performs the way it does.
Thoughts on "armchair engineers" and accuracy of BikeChecker's Linkage V3 program?
