Bottom Bracket Height

Hey i just wondeing if the bb height makes much difference to the way in which a bike rides or the way you ride the bike ?

I have had high bb frames and they feel unstable and with a low i feel like i have more control over the bike.

What do you guys think is best for street or comps ?

A higher BB makes a bike more stable on the back wheel as you're further over the back, but less stable on 2 wheels 'cause there's a higher centre of gravity.

And lower BB vice versa. I'd say higher BB for comps 'cause you spend more time on the back wheel. Hence why most Koxx bikes are +55/60 bb.
