My question, How does bottom bracket placement affect bike handling?
I realize, that depending on how far forward or backward to the rear wheel you place it can cause handling issues, but aside from the crank scraping on tight turns, what are the negative aspects of a bike with a lower bottom bracket?
The reason I ask is, it seems a bike with a little bit lower bottom bracket, would put you lower, and it would allow for a shorter head tube. (overall more aero)
Am I correct? Or do handling issues negate any benefits?
