Bottom Bracket Height

Recommended Posts

Should a beginner have a bike with a large or small bottom bracket height?

What moves can be made easier with a larger/smaller bottom bracket height?

(e.g. large bottom bracket height => more vertical chainstays when the front wheel is lifted => easier to stay up on back wheel??? Is this true???)

Thanks

youll learn quicker with a higher bb as it makes alot of things alot easier, the people that moan about them just cant ajust to them because theyve been riding low bb all their life lol.... you can still do streey things but its just that high bb bikes tend to be a lttle longer which makes spins harder... ride a load of bikes at a ride and see which one you like most... and if your under 5'11'' i would say start off on a od as theyre easy to learn on and throw about and cheaper in general
