Thebigjam101 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Now we all know in recent years the bottom bracket is getting higher on quite a lot of bikes. However, no BBs go above the imaginary line drawn from the rear axle to the headtube as far as I'm aware. Are there any frames that do go above that line? So the frame is almost having to arch? It would be interesting to see how one of those handles. I get the feeling it would be unstable on the ground but on one wheel might be very stable.

trialsbikingnunn Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 i don't think there is a frame with a bb as high and I think it would be less stable with a massively high bb as when I went from a +30bb to a +80bb I felt it was a lot more unstable than the low bb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 That would have to be rediculously high, although it varies where you're taking the measurement on the headtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I think Dez's +100 Marino is the biggest about so far http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/179548-steel-midnight-purple-24-comp-bike-build-new-paint-page-9/?p=2481070 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebigjam101 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 That Marino is almost stretching it past that line isn't it?I think Dez's +100 Marino is the biggest about so far http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/179548-steel-midnight-purple-24-comp-bike-build-new-paint-page-9/?p=2481070 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebigjam101 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 What about a koxx sky 3 mod? Although that Marino is the highest I've seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
