This looks like the bee's knees. Has anyone ever tried this set up? Looks much better than the standard pan hard deal.

There are heim joints on both ends of the rods that connect to the spring plates and center piece. This allows the rear end to lift one wheel at a time, yet keep it from moving from side to side.Can anyone explain how this one works? As I understand Watts linkage, the two links are fastened together so their horizontal movement is the same. Can't see how this arrangement would do that. Where are the pivot points?

Bill,Okay, I can buy that (maybe), but what happens when both sides move simultaneously, as in a speed bump? Looks like it would bind.
