BB Height
« 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!
