    lol, some interesting points:
    - no front bump stops
    - front limit strap is a chain
    - no rear bump stops
    - no rear limit straps
    - unboxed rear frame (do you see the bent frame from the axle hitting it?)
    - un-gusseted spindle

    limiting chains are more gangster than limiting straps

    they're bilsteins, looks like adjustable compression and maybe rebound?

    That chain is a limit strap. I guess all the big name race teams are going to chains :notsure:

    Maybe the actual strap broke while racing and the chain was a quick and necessary fix on the spot

    SUA set up is sweet if they had limited it, bumped it, and boxed the frame. That frame looks fucked up. look at the frame right above the axle :laugh:
