Title: BB Height
Post by: Glen on August 27, 2010, 11:37 AM
Ive noticed that in new street/dirt/park frames BB height varies from model to model. 
How much difference does this make to the feel of a frame?  Most S&M frames are 11.8"
If I was to run a frame that was 11.5 would I feel much difference?

prob feel a little weird at first as u are used to a 11.8bb but it wont take long to get used to it, just like going from 26in wide bars to 28in wide ones, feels weird at first but u soon get used to it :daumenhoch:

zac shaw was talking about this, said the new higher bb frames are horible on vert, less stable but better for tailwhiping kids!

he had to find an old model frame! not sure that helps  :LolLolLolLol:
