basher Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 i've been on a trial noirs stock gu and that was nice would say the high bb is good also been on echo team new one and that is sexy altogether i would say they are nice as they give you alot more control on the back wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I also went on trial noirs bike and thought it was shit (no offence ash)I just REALLY hate high bbs, they make the bike more nervous than a geko in a microwave. Put you off balence easily, make the bike ride like shit on both wheels, make it like a pogo stick ont he rear wheel, nasty nasty.People are too obsessed with how bikes handle on the rear wheel I recken, there is no point sacrificing how a bike rides just so its nice on the rear, there is more to trials than hopping on the back wheel you know!!These high bb bikes are too good on the back wheel too, its just like buying a £300 pogostick, wanna get better on the back wheel? THEN GO OUT AND PRACTISE YOU LAZY SODS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEN GO OUT AND PRACTISE YOU LAZY SODS!!! A bit of a strong view, but true I guess. I like and dislike high bb. Like you say they are good on the back wheel, but some are too good, like a pogostick.I like being on my back wheel, well i like being able to stay on my back wheel .Ollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Ali, gonna have disagree with you there mate I rarther like high bb, it gives me more control of the bike, and yes it has alot more control on the rear wheel, which i also love. For me the higher the better, but it all comes down to how you like it, so i suggest you get out and you try out high bb, low bb, and just in the middle bb hight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
