phobia Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 it all depends on your size and what size bike your ridinga bit of length on a 20" is always nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Shields Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 its about the geo of the frame mate, the long bikes I THINK, dont quote me tend to have a longer chainsay and longer dropouts? whereas the short frames are shorter stays and dropouts. depends on what works for you and how, YOU feel best. i went from from a short zoo python to a long zoo pitbull and rode it ten times better.hope it helps, james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackC123 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) Mate, to put it simply. It is the lenth of the bike.Take the adamant a3, spec:Wheelbase: Short 1005mm, Long 1030mm Chainstay Length: 362mm BB Rise: Short 60mm, Long 55mm Head Angle: 72 degrees Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: Short 595mm (23.5"), Long 610mm (24")The longer the frame, the more leverage you will get for gaps etc. A short frame would be nice and flicky (good for sidehops, frenchies and comptitions.)Also a common thing people look for is the BB RISE. This is like how high the bottom bracket is. Low; (im not really sure the pro's or cons for low bb's) But high BB rise; the bike would stay on the rear wheel alot nice (alot less hopping). And just generally makes the bike ride nice. EDIT: Btw it's not a nooby question! Edited May 1, 2009 by JackC123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Powell Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Height bb will just make your bike like a pogo stick, will only be decent for sidehopping but its the length of the bike, shorts are better for some stuff, then longs are better for stuff than shorts.
