jonny_smith Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 heyI figure it'll take me ages to save up for a new frame so if i start saving now then buy the time i'll have the money my current frame will be dead, i just wondered which is easiest to balance on the back wheel?? Bikes with a high BB or a low BB??Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@banbury-trials Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 i personally prefer high bb ,but i am a bit special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 high bb is easier on the rear wheel, but thats it! anything that involves actually riding the bike on two wheels is crap.Anyway, low bb frames arn't exactly hard on the rear wheel, infact they are more practical as you can actually do useful stuff when on the back wheel, like gap. High bbs are TOO stable on the rear wheel, it hinders the ride rather than make it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abtrials Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 well i have a zenith which is a +25mm rise this is really nice as it is not to high, and not to low. it is the best frame i have used.i would say anything over say =30 is to high and does not make sence, if you cant get comfy on the back wheel with +25 dont bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbjosh Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 yes ali C is right, and i am another believer of this no high BB malarky starky. anything other than being on the back wheel just feels horrid in my opinion. its all about personal preference. if you can... have turns on others trials riders bikes, non of us bother if your a trialer..unless your a wanker well that would be a different story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
