This is a subject that is often discussed alot on this forum but I think alot of the discussions assume a level of expertise that most of us don’t possess (and some fake). I think many of us are in need of someone who can explain (in terms that a layman can understand) the following:
The difference between a steep angled bike and a shallow angled bike? What does the angle refer to and how can it be measured? What are the benefits (and disadvantages) of a steeper angled bike? What type of rider usually benefits from a steeper angle (large/small, good climber/bad climber, flexible/inflexible, etc?) What degree is considered steep, what is shallow (average road bike, I guess?) and what is in the middle? What are the best ways to increase (moving seat up and forward?) or decrease the angle to see what’s best for you?
Anyone?
