ben_travis Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 See above I actually think more spaces is better for tapping with my technique. If you do a pedal up with a tap then lower bars are generally better, if you do a 'proper' tap (where the front wheel leaves the ground much later, Frenchie style) then higher stems allow you to tap harder.Oh and about the XC frame, yeah it's quite small but I wanted a shorter top tube (short arms) and something I can slam the seat down and play on too.Haha, yeah whatever Anal!what is this proper tap you talk of???

AdamR28 Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 what is this proper tap you talk of???Check 2:13 onwards, note the foot positions as the front wheel starts to lift (bad foot approx vertical): http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YitYc92iXl8&...feature=related, 38secs onwards: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=NpayaHeiV0o - the bike comes in at a flatter angle, instead of glancing it's being pedalled into the obstacle.And compare with (about 8 and 24 seconds) front/good foot lifting the front wheel: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0EXg4BSEmvsGenerally I would say the Frenchie tap is easier on lower BB frames... waffle waffle...Phil Williams knows what I'm on about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
