29er / single pivot or Horst link
« on: July 26, 2021, 09:21:12 AM »
I'm trying to decide on a 130mmish trailbike frame. I currently ride an old Jamis with a single pivot and no lockout that will bob and bounce if I don't pedal smoothly, so one of my desires on my next bike is for it to pedal well. Currently I'm thinking FM 1001, LCFS958, or maybe a P1. The numbers keep pulling me back to the 958 but the single pivot pushes me away. Are there advantages to the single pivot besides simplicity, and am I wrong in thinking that a horst link or similar will pedal better while remaining plusher on the way back down, or am I asking too much and should rely on lockout to take care of my issue?
