Eae903 Added a reply to Modern Geo Talk: Chainstays, Stack, Reach, and Bitching About It
4/18/2025 10:28am I know that the front wheel grip would not be as high, but I still feel I could ride the bike better despite that given a better body position. I'm designing my own bikes, currently, and I'm working on a high single pivot enduro with a 500mm reach, 640ish stack, 20mm bb drop, 445mm static stays, 20mm of rear ward...

4/18/2025 10:14am The Be More Bikes guy aparantly is making an enduro bike with a 520mm reach and 503-533 chainstays, built around his weird stem. Might want to hit him up to see if he needs test riders.

4/17/2025 6:19pm I got my hands on some Maven bases the other day. First impressions after bedding in the rotors and test riding them are that they feel like a slightly more powerful Code, definitely did not have that immediate grab of the Maven silvers. Lever pull did feel a bit lighter, but not as light as my Dominions, and then the...

4/17/2025 4:56pm I disagree, Reach, stack, and effective seat angle are primary for determining how you fit on the bike and the body position you are in. A strong and comfortable body position unlocks your riding. No matter how good the fore aft balance of a bike is, you can't ride to the best of your ability if you are stretched out...

4/16/2025 11:18am Longer chainstays can also put your weight further forward than you would want on really steep terrain, making you shift your weight further back than could be good to take impacts with.

4/16/2025 9:14am When calculating anti rise and anti squat, a Center of gravity that is up above the bars and a bit forward of the bb is used, as an average CoG. They could be using that same cog for a fore aft location when working on chainstay length, but I'm not sure. It could be an arbitrary choice too.

4/16/2025 8:40am Yeah, for sure. They need to get on it. People would jump on a high pivot VPP enduro

4/16/2025 8:26am Yeah, I was being overly simplistic in the static analysis, really, our weight would be a distributed load with certain points having higher loading, but for easier math and a simpler explanation I point loaded through the bb as that is the shared point between the rear center and front center. It's a good way to show the relationship between...

4/15/2025 10:28am I'll start by pasting my last geo post from the tech thread . "Proportional chainstays" are a marketing gimmick the way that the brands are currently using the term, with the exception of maybe forbidden. How proportional the rear center length is to the front center is 100% relative and not defined. What most people seem to talk about when...

To me its a no-brainer, the UNNO (assuming its available in your country). 38 fork, Downhill casing tires, 200 more watt/hours in the battery, and the most powerful motor on the market, but still nearly 5 pounds lighter. Plus the UNNO looks very unique, in a good way.

Ride height(compression etc) upsets that Weight measurement though, Stem & bar length etc all comes into weight balance. Ride height is frustrating as SAG doesnt defy it and is often relative to speed and conditions. Like where does the BB height sit when you are blasting through rocks, is it low or high?, despite the suspension working(assuming perfectly) - what about suspension such as forks, it was common for RS stuff to sit into the travel more changing weight. Rebound, how high is the rebound pushing you back and raising CG etc Weight balance will always be a 'never perfect'...
