Default Anyone want to see some Magic? (Kona Magic Link)

No I'm not talking about Lance Burton, David Blaine, or Chris something or other. I found this on bluecollarmtb.com explaining the '08 Coiler suspension.

That looks pretty high tech, if it works and is solid, it could work out to be a very good design. Not sure I'd want to be the first on my block to test it out for them, sometimes it's better to wait and let them work the bugs out.

On a side note, I once made forty eight hundred dollars disappear at a bike shop!

Also, there is a guy on this forum that once punched a magician, he also gets his salads with dressing right on the top, where it belongs.

Default STR Opening !!

Looks like the "Magic Link Approvals" position is now open.

Does that fall under Kickstand Approval duties or can George employ more females?

Employ???...Hey I do my job for the shear enjoyment of it. Yah I could charge a pretty penny for what I do, and I must admit some of the guys do try to tip me, but I refrain from taking any that might look like a kickback or a bribe.

Now, say after all the inspecting all taken care of and someone wants to make sure i'm well hydrated i got no problem with that.

This other job you mention is simple any man can do it.

Looks like to many moving parts. Who knows it might work great for a couple of days.

The explanation makes perfect sense, but of course sensible in an engineer's drawing and in the real world can be two different things. I wonder about rattles, reliability, maintenance, and the rigidity of the rear half. It'll be interesting to read some tests on the design and see if the benefits outweigh the question marks.
