I'm not very mechanical but looking at this, wouldn't the rear end 'squat' when the rear brakes are applied?
I think you might be right there, Jim. While looking at the picture of that design again, I tried to imagine what effect the centrifugal force might have on the rotation of the short "swingarm" once the brake is applied. And the way I'm picturing it, yep, I think the axle would indeed rotate upward, causing the shock to compress, and thus as you said causing the rear end to "squat".
It shouldn't squat. The pivot for the swing arm is in front of both the axle and the mount point of the brake.
