You could install shorter pins and increase the pendulum effect.

Looks like I missed all the Zink Vacay talk Sad

Anyways, here's a build by Jason Hansen from OC Bike Works that he told me to post to Vital: https://www.vitalmtb.com/community/lepigpen/zink-bikes-vacay-150 

Also did everyone already talk about the possibility of duck footing those pedals? I'm guessing the weight balance actually reduces duck footing in tech significantly... That said if you do manage to flip it and duck foot it... That does sound scary lol

Depending on the pedal you are comparing they might not actually hang too much lower

Shouldn’t we line up the axles to make this comparison?

Another thing to consider is you might lose dropper post max drop if you're already at- or near- maxed. 

 

EDIT: Regarding this self-righting feature, can they reliably be crank flipped? 

You can do whatever you like.

The insertion limitation is a very very real thing that can be circumvented by replacing the dropper with one that has better insertion or by installing shorter cranks. 

What do you mean by crank flipped? 

@owl-x in reality on the outer edge it really is not that much of a difference. Inboard it's a bit more pronounced due to the larger bearings

Watched this yesterday and thought it was pretty well done. When I first saw these, I thought they were shite. Now I really want to try them.
