Will you be trying a tuned mass damper anytime soon?
@richardblom4358
@richardblom4358 11 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.

You still see a lot of those being used as Hill climb cars round here! In our opinion companies like Rimpact and Countercycle who are bringing this tech to MTB are innovating in doing so. Minor gains and improvements really stack up over time, so we'd still rather be with them than without them

@better.better
@better.better 11 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.
@therealjamesjordan

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'.

@gmbn 9 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

Not to bash on the editor but I would have liked to hear to sounds of the bike while Rich was testing. Great explanation, I'd be interested to see if the pros use a ball in a fluid or some other types... In order to be a tuned mass damper it has to be tuned and placed on the bike following a frequency analysis. It's just mass dampers in that case.
@gmbn
@gmbn 7 күн бұрын
We think the tuning element in this case comes from the brands narrowing down what the damping actually is. Rimpact for example say they will provide a variety of springs with theirs so riders can tune for improved feel on chattery trails or trails with bigger repeated impacts of lower frequency.

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.
@gmbn
@gmbn 8 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 👍

You're never going to tune out all vibrations as there are such a mad range of them, but they've landed on a great place to start

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.

Where there are vibrations coming into the bike yes it'll help to damp them, but the force and intensity will be best felt on downhills at speed for sure

0.3 secs on one lap? Is that statisticslly proven it seems like very little time saved on the cars. Timewise not worth it. Reduction in vibrations? Maybe❤.

F1 cars are separated by 100’s of a second per lap in qualifying, a 0.3 per lap is significant.

Margins for error in bikes are probably a bit different to in F1. However, multiple DH races and days of Enduro racing come down to split seconds, so yes it could potentially make all the difference! Especially if it's saved you some energy in the arms and grip strength over the first 4 stages of the day in an Enduro race!

It's not about matching the exact oscillation, it's about minimising a range. We felt it working 👍

Poor explanation and misleading when saying one was tuned when it was only sprung. A tuned mass is where the mass is calculated to match the harmonic of the system. TMD work to reduce the smaller vibration which is the main contributing factor not the big hits as spoken about here. For the mass to have an effective control of big hits it would need to that big it would be detrimental to the rest of the bike dynamics

If we have to determine the effectiveness of any devise by evaluating it using track times....guess what it, is just hype and meant to get you to spend money for something you do not need. Like most shiet these days..just a dfad and this has a long way to even achieve that.
