ddht?

[theRuler]

ridebmxmag always describes frames as ddht - double diamond hard tail

what is a hard tail?

[daz bmx it!]

no suspension on the rear

[theRuler]

no suspension on the rear

so bmx's are described as ddht when they have no suspension on the rear?

that can not be right

[oberonspacefruit]

hard tail is, as he says, no sussie's

[theRuler]

so when is a bmx ever not ht?

what a stupid fooking phrase


i knew "ht" meant that in mountainbikes, but it bore no relevance to bmx so i figured it must stand for something else

[SaMAlex]

I think that ddht, as a description of a general frame design, has come about since rear suspension (on MTBs). BMX's fall into that category, and almost always do (maybe not always double diamond) and its just a nice way of saying it.

thats a relief mate

hard tail means a shock on the front and none on the rear,a bmx would be classed as fully rigid,like a mountain bike with no suspension.

Anybody ever see those all silver 'BMXs' from the 80s wth cast alloy mags, 5 spd deraillerururue gears and a dynamo??? ?

I fink they were some kind of German import sold in catalogues

'Hee you are son, get that, it's only 15 quid more than an ammoco and it's got a dynamo and gears!'


Thanks Dad; lIt looks totally SH#TE and weighs more than USS Nimitz!   (He was, however, right about that saddle though...)

Mountain bikes killed bmx, fooking ATB shite

[Lazarou]

Personally if i had to hazard a guess i would say it came from the motorcycle industry at the dawn of BMX.
