Why did Cervélo make a rigid LinkLock to turn their new carbon ZFS-5 full-suspension XC race bike into a hardtail for World Cup racing?
The governing body of pro mountain bike racing, the UCI MTB World Cup rules require that cross-country racers must compete in the XCC short track race on the same bike as they ride in the main event Olympic-distance XCO cross-country race. But a closer look at the rules actually only specifies that it must be the same frame.
Just bolt it into the same mounts as the shock & short link. It’s meant to be stiff and unmoving, leaving any flex or bump absorption to the carbon frame.
