Why, at 29 years old do I watch this guy make stuff with lego. I haven't touched lego for 21 years. Keep it up.

As someone who rides motorcycles, suspension is always one of the most intriguing aspects. As the suspension set up in combination with the tires dictate the character of the bike in ways few other components do.
Awesome content as usual ✌🏻

1:32 Hearing the tread start up while you're still in the app, in sync with the switch before it fades back to the actual build is such a neat detail and so satisfying.

It would be interesting to test models of some mountain bike suspensions (since most of them are progressive). Some of the bikes have absolutely insane suspension geometry. Interesting how it performs in Lego.

Seeing that street bike set on, essentially, a dyno was really cool! It would be cool to see the RPM measured on those pistons haha!

As a mountain biker, and suspension engineer, i enjoyed :) would be interesting to do mountain bike suspension and test it, because of cool bike geometry

Old school chopper springer + plunger combo does what it does in real life. Rode a frankensteined old triumph once that was set up like that. Almost bounced me of the road through the slightest curve, it was awful unless you were 300+ lbs

I wish I had this much Lego. Imagine what would create. Probably a shitty car, but still.

Love how the bike just sort of jumps sometimes, it's quite beautiful to see how chaotic high speeds can be on a given frame

Great video, but I wasn’t very satisfied with the simulated physics.
The rig’s bike shouldn’t be “pulled forward” at the handlebars. Because as the front tire hits a bump, it is forced up, but also backward. This backward force in the rig is then counteracted by a forward pull on the handlebar location… that forward pull should actually come from the intertia of the bike, from its center of mass.
This rig simulates a bike that has its center of mass at its handlebars…
A bikes center of mass is lower, and more centered between the wheels (where weight was a added). I think the bike should have been stabilized/ pulled forward where the weight was added.

The rig caused a torque, pulling the bike nose down, adding weird, unnatural stresses to the front wheel.

Anyway, it ain’t that serious but thought I’d share my thoughts. Great vid as always and I liked the slow mo

Gry bro, you can make a cool vehicle from this test machine!

[SaperPl]

Really cool. The wallet must hurt though with this whole setup. Hopefully the views will pay it back :)

I passed my childhood buying stuff and learning things at school without invent or recreate knowledge into toys. Now i feel old and stupid, but i’m happy it’s not too late to imagine other things to enjoy reflexion and find another way of fun.

Even if I’m wrong about me, thank you to let the other enjoy it. 👋✨🤙

This is such a great example of undamped suspension and why struts/ damping are important!

[clementbotella]

What a bliss to see that you included the Street bike set that I used to play with when I was a kid, so many sweet memories when I saw these pistons work !
Thank you so much for this amazing content 🔋🔋🔋

[DFWRailVideos]

As per usual, the wait was worth it! Even though I’m not as much of a LEGO guy anymore, I still enjoy watching. Keep it up!

[Ritter_Kotzenplotz]

Comparing more origianl Lego sets as the Ducati, BMW M1000RR, etc. would be very interesting

[KatChaos]

The future of technology is legos and this guy is here to show it

[Marco-clpb]

Suspension testing, motorcycles and Legos, what a great combo
Keep up the good work

can we just all agree that how satisfiying it is when he snaps on a peace
