guy53 Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 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.

section swept Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 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.

jimmyl Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 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 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
