no suspension on the rear ;)

so bmx's are described as ddht when they have no suspension on the rear?

that can not be right

Post by: theRuler on April 10, 2007, 10:11 PM: so when is a bmx ever not ht?

what a stupid fooking phrase

i knew "ht" meant that in mountainbikes, but it bore no relevance to bmx so i figured it must stand for something else

Post by: SaMAlex on April 10, 2007, 10:11 PM: I think that ddht, as a description of a general frame design, has come about since rear suspension (on MTBs). BMX's fall into that category, and almost always do (maybe not always double diamond) and its just a nice way of saying it.

Post by: priv on April 10, 2007, 11:31 PM: hard tail means a shock on the front and none on the rear,a bmx would be classed as fully rigid,like a mountain bike with no suspension.

Post by: Timmeh on April 11, 2007, 10:48 PM: Anybody ever see those all silver 'BMXs' from the 80s wth cast alloy mags, 5 spd deraillerururue gears and a dynamo??? :wtf:????

I fink they were some kind of German import sold in catalogues

'Hee you are son, get that, it's only 15 quid more than an ammoco and it's got a dynamo and gears!'

Thanks Dad; lIt looks totally SH#TE and weighs more than USS Nimitz! (He was, however, right about that saddle though...)
