Thanks Perry. The suspension cycles smoothly without a shock but that isn't surprising freshly lubed. The question I think is if the system moves smoothly when side loaded and with the amount of bushing overlap it definitely should.
I know that's caveat laden but I wanted to get all the technerdery out of the way so I can focus on the bike.
Re. Kinematics, I don't think you can accomplish the R3ACT design goals without the strut because you need the mechanical platform counteracting pedalling in order to run such light damping ?
I mean that in terms of their DH and climbing ride goals from a shock with no pedal platform and a light tune.
