Tomm Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 My ET is 1037mm with Pashleys, seems super long compared 2 everybody elses :lol: ← Pashleys have a shitload of rake on them though, makes your bike super long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy elephants Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Pashleys have a shitload of rake on them though, makes your bike super long. ← that wouldnt make your bike feel longer though, i tend to find that the bigger the distance between the bb and the bars makes a bike feel longer. the rake of the forks just allows you to bridge bigger gaps. or is riding the bike up-side down the new fashion? and who ever said about people not choosing a bike due to its wheelbase... i think u'll find there are alot of people on here that believe that the wheelbase is one of the most important things to look for.

Mark W Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 yeah, 7mm makes sooooo much difference. :) :P ← It does, when you're riding. Otherwise, why would they dick about with geometry so much? The change from '02 T-Pro to '04 T-Pro wasn't theoretically much, but it felt f**king massive. The change from a 20" TT BMX to a 20.5" TT BMX felt massive too and made a big difference. And wheelbase is bloody important when you're choosing a bike. I thought this shit was insanely obvious, but I'll explain it in simple terms for people who don't like to understand things: I am 6ft 2in. I ride mod. I used to ride a short mod. I felt cramped on it. I bought a longer mod. Ta da! I chose one with a longer wheelbase. f**kin' shocker, that. People who aren't ultra tall might go for a Levelboss 1040 or something, people who are taller and therefore can deal with the length can go for the 1065 or 1100, which is why Koxx made different lengths of their bikes. How very convenient! *sigh* :) Now before the "I like riding a short bike so I'm not classed as 'trendy'" come wading in with their twattish blanket comments that mean f**k all - just getting a longer wheelbase won't make you a better rider. It feels a bit easier to backwheel (in mine, and a lot of other people's experiences) and do "pure" sorta trials - including natural, where a more stable, longer wheelbase is a huge help - on a longer bike for me, but then again there was that guy on here who was shorter than some shits that I've done who bought a LB1065. As opposed to making him some trials demigod, it was shit 'cos it was too long. Just buying a 1200mm+ wheelbase bike won't make you great, but again, that's bloody obvious.

(minus a few pures) im 6'1 i ride a leeson clear standard length it suits me perfectly! i dont do it cause i dont want to be trendy!! it also doesnt mean i only do street! i like all types of trials "pure" to "street" to whatever. i think people should calm down and start accepting other people views. SOME people get on with long bikes! SOME people get on with short bikes! any who sorry for bitching! my leeson is 1010 wheel base i think.
