    The Story of Tollwut Gravity Bikes & the ultimate gearbox Racer

    Reduce it to the frame, because fork influence is allways the same in each frame, depends on steering angle. When you have bikes with very high pivot single swinger linkage the rearinfluence to the wheelbase is rising until the swinger is horizontal and than the wheelbase starts to become...
