GTF Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 the short one is better to throw around the long one is better for UCI stylelike the short - easier for street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max-t Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 long:pros. better for gaps better for taps and backwheels better for front wheel manoovers better for hooking.. bettter for static hops and things like that better to lurch on and surges to backweelcons. harder to chuck about harder to spin on.(like 180s) harder to get on the backwheel. short:pros. easier to chuck about.(more responsive) easier to spin easier to bunyhop easier to control when gettin up onto backwheel easier to manual and do more streety movescons. harder for ups,taps and backwheels harder to hook not as good to gap on max...please excuse my very irregular writing alignment :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemekeetja Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Long frame can be too clumsy in some places.I have a long Stark TT and its clumsy on thins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 The thing is, it's simply not as black and white as Max-t has put it.A long bike with bb rise is going to be easier to get onto the back wheel than a short bike with BB drop. It's also very dependant on the set-up of the bike. One thing that's for sure, regardless of what bike you jump onto, if it's a mod, it'll pretty much feel better on the back wheel than a python, due to it having loooong chainstays.Long bike's arn't nescessarily 'better' for taps and such either, as again their geometry may mean having to totally review your technique....

poopipe Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 ohwell i got the bike with out knowing anything about the above!whats clsCLS is craig lee scott. He's got his name on the 06 pythons (maybe on the long 05 as well ? ) on account of being pretty damn good at riding them. aanyway, don't worry about the frame - it's not the length, it's what you do with it that counts.

Abdab. Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 This carnt have happened....You mean to say you have never heard of CLS. Anyways.....Short bikes: Better for Bunnyhops, there more flickier, i personally find them easier to go to back wheel on things.Long bikes: Better for everything really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
