@rockingroli2057 4 жыл бұрын

You forgot to mention one important thing, which you do really well. An this keepin a straight back so that the position of the head (8kg) is nicely located above the rear axle. If the head stays too far in the front, you will drop down if the pedalling accelaration goes down, which will inevitably do. Head positioning is key.

@barkingmadman1169 4 жыл бұрын

I'm hoping you'll cover bike adjustments to help wheelies. I'm at the small end of acceptable range for my bike size. I think getting that front tire up is hard and I am never reaching the balance point. So no amount of practice helps overcome geometry challenges. Sure, you're a pro and you can probably make a wheelie work on a bike that is a size too large for you. But what can I do? Maybe shorten the stem? How much? Narrow bars? Or wider? Once I can do some wheelies on my modified set up and I know the feel, then maybe I can go back to my original set up and hit it. What advice?
