Air cooled, not many suitable engines available back then, I think it was a quadrunner 100 cc.

Here is the finished product. I was primarily a test guy. The Prof got me a scholarship. :)

Anyway, I’ll go back later and read the earlier posts. Like I said, I could be wrong, but it did stimulate some discussion, which is...

And this addresses the anti-dive. Not saying it’s right, but a lot of discussion was done. I think the Front an arms were parallel...

Okay, here is what we did back in the 80’s to reason it out. A professor got a contract to build a small fuel efficient car, I was...

Yeah, the brake force magnitude is the same regardless of position (every thing being equal) but the tangential force on the disc...

Yes, AI contradictions seem inevitable. I’ll do a bit more digging, and start a new thread. Basically, the vertical component of the...

I’ve found numerous claims that the caliper placement impacts bearing load when braking, so they are positioned to reduce bearing load...

The disk has a force exerted on it opposite rotation, so the force on the caliper is opposite. This has a vertical and horizontal...

AI gave this, but I will try to find the full article. “ The position of the front brake affects anti-dive because it changes the...

“Load transfer: When the brakes are applied, the braking force pushes down on the front suspension.” I ran through the free body...
