Hi. I'm in the planning stages for my build. I'm pretty sure I will be making my own frame and some, if not all, suspension components.
I'd be grateful if anyone can give me some numbers.
In order to get things right I need to know how much travel I need. This is not as simple as it sounds as I need 4 measurements. What I need is...
Front: Amount of Bump (upward) travel, and amount of Droop (downward) travel.
Same for the Rear: Amount of bump and amount of droop.
All measured from the normal ride height, with gas in tank and driver on board. (or not, as long as you tell me which way, empty or loaded)
Now, how do you measure this? Is it travel at the wheel or travel at the suspension mounting points (where the rods attach to the axle). At this point I don't mind which, as long as I know how you measured it.
Again, all assistance is greatly appreciated.
