pietro Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Should a beginner have a bike with a large or small bottom bracket height?What moves can be made easier with a larger/smaller bottom bracket height?(e.g. large bottom bracket height => more vertical chainstays when the front wheel is lifted => easier to stay up on back wheel??? Is this true???) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Yer the higher the bb the better the bike sits on the back wheel and the lower the bb the better the bike is at more streety moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 youll learn quicker with a higher bb as it makes alot of things alot easier, the people that moan about them just cant ajust to them because theyve been riding low bb all their life lol.... you can still do streey things but its just that high bb bikes tend to be a lttle longer which makes spins harder... ride a load of bikes at a ride and see which one you like most... and if your under 5'11'' i would say start off on a od as theyre easy to learn on and throw about and cheaper in general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
