What You Need To Know Before Buying A Bike | Bicycle Geometry Explained | Cycling Weekly
Cycling culture is full of little idiosyncrasies. Some of them we love and respect, like the fact that a water bottle is a water bottle in all walks of life except when on a bicycle. Others can be infuriating – like the inconsistencies within geometry charts.
The geometry of a bike is hugely important when it comes to selection. Geometry creates personality - making the bike either more fast and flicky, or comfortable and stable.
This video will tell you everything you need to know before buying yourself a new a bike.

TRAIL EXPLAINED! | Motorcycle racing geometry
Trail is crucial to motorcycle setup. It has a major effect on the handling of the bike, and to achieve the fastest possible race setup, setting up the trail correctly is paramount.
Aaron from Zero One Racing (https://www.zerooneracing.com) explains what trail actually is (along with rake and offset) and why it's so important, while delving into the actual science and mechanics behind trail.

Motorcycle Geometry | EXPLAINED
FOLLOW ME:
https://www.instagram.com/mikeonbikesofficial/
Most of us regular riders don't go beyond adjusting the suspension on our bikes. Heck, a lot of street riders don't even adjust their tire pressures. Add me on Instagram: mikeonbikesofficial
In this video I go beyond the regular suspension talk, and focus on explaining Motorcycle Geometry. You see, the geometrical setup of the motorcycle has a crucial impact on its performance. Adjusting the suspension might also require changes to the bikes geometry.

What Fork Offset is Best? Steering Geometry 101
A deep dive into the basics of bicycle steering geometry.
This topic has been relevant in my world recently, as I have some decisions to make for my next bike. So I figured now was the time to put a video together explaining how all of these things work together, and some of the common misconceptions to watch out for.

Speed Vs Stability - Can Bike Geometry Make You Faster?
How much does a bikes geometry affect its handling? Can it have a big impact on your overall speed? Si took a visit to The Bicycle Academy to talk with their resident expert Tom and to compare two of Si's current bikes.

GCN Tech Uploader: http://gcntech.co/upload
Si took both his Canyon Aeroad and his Trek Domane RSL to measure up how they compare in geometry and how this equates to their ride feel. Bottom bracket drop, chainstay length and wheelbase all affect how a bike rides. We reached out to a friend of the channel, Tom, in order to find out what people should look out for in frame geometry for their desired ride characterisitics.

VBike Cycle Clinic - Bicycle Geometry Intoduction
Bike Fit tech Craig Baldwin from VBike Auckland talks about the different types of bicycle geometry.I believe a bicycle frame has two types of measurements to consider
PRIMARY (A measurement or angle that when changed WILL alter your bicycle position/contact points)
and
SECONDARY (A measurement or angle that when changed will NOT alter your bicycle position/contact points)
Let me explain. The seattube length is a SECONDARY measurement and will not alter your position on the bike if changed, if it is 4cm longer it will merely mean that less seatpost is exposed from the frame.
Measurements such as top tube, head tube, seat angle are PRIMARY measurements meaning that each and every one of them if altered even slightly can drastically change your bicycle position, unfortunately these mo...

Bike Fit tech Craig Baldwin from VBike Auckland talks about the different types of bicycle geometry.I believe a bicycle frame has two types of measurements to consider
PRIMARY (A measurement or angle that when changed WILL alter your bicycle position/contact points)
and
SECONDARY (A measurement or angle that when changed will NOT alter your bicycle position/contact points)
Let me explain. The seattube length is a SECONDARY measurement and will not alter your position on the bike if changed, if it is 4cm longer it will merely mean that less seatpost is exposed from the frame.
Measurements such as top tube, head tube, seat angle are PRIMARY measurements meaning that each and every one of them if altered even slightly can drastically change your bicycle position, unfortunately these more important measurements are rarely ever mentioned during a bike purchase.
So how do you choose the correct geometry?
If you know your current geometry and it has been correctly fitted and is comfortable simply google the geometry of that frame and find the closest match from your preferred new bicycle options.
