Luke Rainbird Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Depends who you talk to really. For a street frame, I reckon 74 - nice and steep. For a pure trials frame, between 70 and 72.5 I think.I'd say that it seems to cover a slightly smaller range than that."Street" in a trials sense (think Ashtons etc) seem to hit a maximum of around 73 degrees, whereas more "trialsy" trials frames appear to be 71-72 or soTo be honest though, the majority of people wouldn't notice a 0.5 degree difference with most of their riding, and it's another of those things that you can get used to relatively easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) You asked that in this thread... And got an answer. Yes, steeper head angles makes for faster steering but that doesn't really make much difference when all you're doing is hopping around. Steeper head angles are better on streetier frames IMO as they're more fun for front wheel/spinny things and the disadvantages (I.e. less good for taps/hooks) are less relevant on that kind of bike.your answer was bettera half degree difference is surprisingly obvious - at least going between 74.5 and 75 on a bmx.
