Ali C Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I would love: 1090 wheelbase 380 chainstays +20 bb rise 72 headangle combine that with a shortish stem and 2" risers and it would be pretty sweet. actually, it sounds pretty much like an onza Limey >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emery Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 But if the bb higher does that mean more control and what does the chainstays effect. toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaar3l Posted November 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I have ridden with higher bb-s, BT6 was awful feeling, my friend has a 1085 and +20bb and that feels great. And i tried KOT MS2 with high stem setup and that felt great, but i still like lower bb-s. In my opinion: WB 1080-1090 CS 375 BB +20 Head angle: 71-72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
