Since beginning his mountain biking career while working as a resort photographer in Greece in 2014, Liam became a freelance contributor at off.road.cc in 2019. From there, he’s climbed the journalism job ladder from staff writer to deputy technical editor, now finding his place as technical editor.

Partial to the odd enduro race, heart rate-raising efforts on slim-tyred cross-country bikes, hell-for-leather e-MTB blasts or even casual gravel jaunts, there’s not a corner of off-road cycling where Liam fears to tread. With more than 40 bike reviews under his belt and hundreds more on MTB, e-MTB and gravel parts and accessories, Liam’s expertise continues to be cemented and respected by the industry.

It looks to use a three or four-piece design with the main crown assembly and two legs that are attached using four linkages. From this drawing, it looks fairly simple

I make that 7 - and that doesn't include the spring

I love the timing of this.  2 weeks ago I posted on the main forum about re-introducing the Linkage led Amp Research front fork.
