Chassis and Steering

Post by Stayt`ie »

In the SCTA and also the DLRA rule book at the end of rule 7.B.19, (DLRA, page 49) it states :- "A functional shock absorber is required for each sprung wheel",, :? ,, is this saying that suspenshion is required,, or,, that you cant just have a spring in there,, :?: :?: ,, Graham, Gary,, somewon,,,,,

I wouldn't know but the wording suggests you only need a shocker if the wheel is sprung :!:, it doesn't say it must be sprung :wink: I would suggest if it's not sprung, ie rigid, no shocker would be required and would be pretty useless if the wheel was unsprung anyway :idea:

staytíe, trev got it right it means you must have a working shockie if you have suspension ..... you can run a hardtail if you desire .... my personal choice is a hard rear and a sprung front

Yes, correct. Suspension is not mandatory. If it is then you need a shockie.
