Will you be trying a tuned mass damper anytime soon?
@richardblom435811 күн бұрын
@gmbn You (rider bike shocks and tires) are a mass damper system already. The crux is that it needs to be tuned. You need to adjust the spring force and dampeners according to the mass of the bike and rider and the terrain you are riding on. Adding an additional mass dampener system to the equation will only work if you tune your complete setup (mass, spring force, dampeners, and terrain).

A bit off subject but the original Citroen 2cv produced in 1949 used tuned mass dampers mounted to each wheel, the TMD was a metal weight controlled by a spring and oil all housed in an enclosed housing. Nothing is in mountain biking, it's all borrowed ideas. When we do get original thinkers with great ideas they often fail because the look different.

@better.better11 күн бұрын
don't forget the innovation and creativity, while the idea itself is not new, finding a way to make it work in a smaller package can be just as creative, as often that was what kept it from being used for those applications. downhill is the one application where adding weight to the total system doesn't have as much of a negative impact it still affects maneuverability and braking distance, but other than that the additional momentum is a benefit. every other cycling application however requires very careful consideration to balance the additional weight against the benefit of the vibration reduction. I can see this being useful in gravel and cobblestone racing, but any application where hill climbing is a large portion of the event it would probably be shunned. but what about other more practical applications... for example could tuned-mass dampers be used to extend the life of headset bearings vs bunny hops, curb drops, gaps in the sidewalk pavers, etc? or maybe my bike shop just installs them incorrectly but I get about 4000 to 5000 mi out of them (it's a 2019 Surly Big Fat Dummy [Medium: 26"×5"tires], and I'm guessing that jumping a curb with 45-75lbs on the cargo rack is probably not good for the headset bearings)

Maybe I missed something but how would an average mountain biker even determine the resonant frequency of their bike? I assume the vibration frequency and amplitude of each given trail would impact this even more (no pun intended). I once interned at a company that does this kinda stuff for buildings and the way this is measured isn’t really something I can see a normal consumer or even a bike shop doing. Or maybe I just fundamentally misunderstand how this technology works in bikes… or F1 cars for that matter.
@therealjamesjordan10 күн бұрын
How it had been deployed within that gen. of F1 was to further improve aerodynamics by ridding oscillations at the front of the car, thereby continuing the airflow over the car. Top Speed criteria. Here, F1 is just a rubbish hype term for 'the clicks'.
@gmbn9 күн бұрын
True, it might not be a necessary product for amateur riders, but for gravity racers where it all comes down to fractions of a second it's sure to be picked up. As for the frequency and amplitude, there will always be a range, both in frequency and amplitude, so companies like Rimpact will have modelled a solution which is best for a range, reducing high frequency and high amplitude hits well, but not doing one or the other 'perfectly' because bikes don't experience just one or the other

TMDs are designed to tune out resonance at a given frequency I.e. “Tuned”. I had large versions fitted to 10 tonne vibrating screens to tune out transient vibrations to a meeting room😂 As mtb tracks vary in bumps and subsequent suspension frequencies these devices are pretty useless for the general rider as one set for small bump won’t cover bigger hits etc. on the racing scene I can see it working but the benefits will be negligible as the spring stiffness and weight required to provide noticeable effects will be significant. The formula for the weight calculation is freely available online.
@gmbn8 күн бұрын
It's not tuned to remove all of the vibrations, like you said that's quite the task. However, it does reduce the severity of a lot of them and will remove some from feedback entirely. We can positively feel Rimpacts one used in this video having a benefit on the bike 👍

So…isn't the suspension intended to reduce shock? If you need a tuned mass damper on a suspended bike, maybe build a better suspension fork and rear shock? Perhaps, I don't know, consider using coil springs instead of air springs to increase sensitivity and reduce response time? Take the 1 pound of tuned mass damper weight and use it to improve the fork and rear shock. And wouldn't the rider feel less fatigued when fresh versus when tired? I know I feel every small bump at the end of the day as my fatigued muscles fail to control and position my body optimally. A better test would be to alternate between the active and dummy tuned mass damper throughout the day.
