wonganut Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 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 ?

Ben John - Hynes Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 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.
