When people tell you BMX is good training for MTB, when people try out drop bars on MTB, remember Tomac did it first. If you want to learn to ride a classic MTB, study Tomac

Look at that high post attack stance! Dropper? He's probably never heard of her, but I'm sure she's in his dust
 
I enjoy turning my bikes in to 3 speeds and using the old hubs and shifters. The click click click of the hub is music to my ears. Here is one you should grab off the bay. I would buy it but have no need currently. There are others at 50$ so I would snatch this up. Be mindful of 28 & 36 spoke hubs. View attachment 224247
I’ll check into this. Thanks 😊
 
Looks like the link goes from fork tip to the end of the strut from the leaf spring (68 mm) plus a bit more to the actual axle, and that adds to the travel. That's pretty cool. Folks have used that concept here too. Usually on a Monarch style springer, with the rockers from static fork to sprung fork plus the extension to the axle. Both give you more movement at the axle with less movement at the spring.

Grew up watching John at Lansing Jack Pine bmx, guy was sooooo fast! Really cool to kids, like me. Love seeing his son destroying motocross.
