I caught this comment over on Red Kite Prayer in Padraig's review of the Ridley Noah SL30 and was intrigued by it. Ridley Noah SL 30 | RKP
“the bottom bracket drop was 66mm, which is the highest I’ve ridden in ages. The upshot is that when sprinting, the Noah SL tracks straighter than many other bikes, making it a bike where you can flail all you want and you won’t wander from your line as much as you might with some bikes”
I've always understood that the BB height's main influence was on cornering and cruising downhill at speed through sweeps. Can anyone shed any light on the effect that Padraig was describing? Is this another aspect to be thrown into the mix?
Cheers,
Geoff
