I imagine I could go through the various forums to look for the answer, but I'll ask anyway. Jan and others have said:
1. a high trail bike can ride very well without a front load 2. adding a front load to ANY bike changes the handling 3. adding a front load to a high trail bike changes the handling negatively 4. a low trail bike rides very well with a front load (better than a high trail bike) My question is: Does adding a front load to a low trail bike improve that bike's handling? Or does it just change it *less negatively* than it does a high trail bike? The follow up question to each of the two possible answers are obvious: If adding a front load IMPROVES a low trail bike and DEGRADES a high trail bike, then is there a middleground that is unaffected? When does it flip from hurting to helping? If adding a front load just degrades a low trail bike less, then is there a super-low-trail design that is even less sensitive? In other words, have you Jan ever ridden a legitimate bike for spirited riding that had too little trail? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
