Prawny Baby Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 considering that the high bb makes a bike feel LOADS shorter, id definately go with the long one!your not exactly short.....my hifi actually felt REALLY short, and that was a 1085 wheelbase with a +55 BB, it felt shorter than a zebdi go long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 if you ride street you may want to consider a frame with a lower bb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NirZionTrials Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) if you ride street you may want to consider a frame with a lower bb?dose it matter?from i read, i seems that the high BB gives better control on the back whell.i will ask it in another way, is there a reason for a low BB for street trial?thanks prawn, i didnt think of that.

MikeCottTrials Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Street Trials.my question is, if i need a low BB for Street Trials (taps,gaps)well the way i understand it is, back wheel feels nice, good for sidehops, gaps, uci stuff basicly, however you might not know what i mean but when you tap sometimes your back wheel shoots out and on high bb its meant to make that worse. as far as bunnyhops and such im not sure what thats like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
