pablotrial

Recommended Posts

Im going to change my frame but i dont know waht to buy

im acostumed to a high bb(+6) but i like light bikes so i was thinking of buying the gu 08 bt its a bit heavy so i didnt decided

then i saw the new echo control and i really liked it but, the bb is +3 i dont like so much that but i think i will ride the same with it

basically whats the differece witha high bb and a low one

with high bbs its easier to do backhops i belive

what moves are better withs low bbs?

what i think im gonna do is buying a 2008 gu with echo sl parts..

also a friend is selling his gu tp 07.. is the tp 07 good?

wich gu is stronger? 07 or 08?

please help :S:S

good luck guys

low bb is good for:

taps

gaps (well, holding on to them when landing)

roll downs

bunnyhops

manuals

2 wheel balance

High bb is good for:

hooks

back wheel control

possibly sidehops

Personally I think +6 makes a bike feel like a pogo stick, it makes it hard to hold onto moves when you land, loops out too easily in gaps. However, a low bb +1-2 is harder on the back wheel and can feel a bit slugish.

I think you would get on really well with a +3 - 4 high bb
