Dansta1991 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I've got a very old 'Onza Comp' and when i go on my friends bike's, such as Echo's, New Rockman's and GU's. They all feel easy to control on the back wheel, I was wanting to know what makes a bike feel nice when on it's back wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juhoman Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Short chainstays and high BB makes bike more controllable on the back wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cahill Trials Kid Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Higher bottom brackets give you more backwheel control, but less when balance on two wheels, This is what people say anyway, In all honest when i went to a high bottom bracket i couldnt really tell any diference.

matthew_coggan Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Yeah its the BB height/ geo of the bike, but i think it's also down to the weight of the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trial1966 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I added high riser bars and lower stem and it feels loads better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 All setup and preference....most frames can be made to feel " nice" although some more than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
