December 24, 20187 yr Back in the day's, you would see in all trail and trials bike advertisement the fork angle the trail along with the wheelbase. Anybody know these on there bike. I am not interested in the '' why and it's better '' just the dimension of the different bike. Guy
December 24, 20187 yr Manufacturers secret......sssshhhhhh! If you publish those specifications, then they will be copied straight away as you can’t patent measurements. All that hard development work only to be found repeated on the oppositions bikes.
December 25, 20187 yr It’s an easy measurement so don’t think that’s the reason - think more the marketing is now done by “branding experts “ as they say on the apprentice rather than engineers so graphics are more important than mm ( inches for the pre 65 brigade) and degrees ??

Think you'll find there has been more development in pre65 's in the last 20 years, than in " modern " bikes
