JonMack Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Well I understand the rest of the geo, but I don't really understand this. Obviously it changes the reach and wb, but what difference does it make, is a frame with a steep head angle better on front wheel moves or is it the other way round? I notice all frames seem to hover around 71-72º, but what's the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Slacker angle means less responsive steering, but better stability. Steeper head does the opposite (believe it or not!) Read the G-sport article on steering geometry. It's really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Youll usually find it easier to get over the front and get the rear up with a steeper h.a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
