Double Wishbone Suspension

The upper a-arm attaches to the top of the hub. The lower a-arm attaches to the bottom of the hub. The Heim joints attached at the end allow for 360 degrees of freedom in the parallel position and about 10-20 degrees of movement in the perpendicular position. The bicycle shock shown, was donated from University Cycles. This will attach on one end directly to the frame, and the other end to the bar that comes across in the lower a-arm.
